Nexus Mods is adding age-verification requirements for users wishing to download NSFW or adult mods. This decision adheres to the UK's Online Safety Act and the EU's Digital Services Act, which aim to protect minors online. The laws require platforms to enforce checks preventing underage access to explicit material. The site’s adult content guidelines will be revamped for clarity and categorization, allowing for new tags on explicit content that users can opt to conceal.
Nexus Mods is implementing age-verification checks for NSFW and adult mods to comply with new UK and EU laws protecting under-age internet users from inappropriate content.
The UK's Online Safety Act and the EU's Digital Services Act mandate safety checks to prevent underage users from accessing explicit material, impacting major platforms.
Nexus' content team lead stated, 'As a business, this leaves us with a choice; remove adult content for all UK and EU-based users or make adjustments to our policy, including adding age verification for some adult content.'
The Adult Content Guidelines will be overhauled to provide 'more detail and better categorisation,' including new tags for explicit content that users can choose to hide.
