Japanese art platform pixiv announced on April 22 that users in the United States and United Kingdom will no longer be able to post adult content per its new Terms of Use in compliance with regional laws from April 25.
The company previously announced transactional restrictions for prohibited content sold through the site’s BOOTH, pixivFANBOX, and pixiv Requests services in 2022.
The change comes as U.S. lawmakers push for stronger age-verification laws on websites with adult content. pixiv joined DLsite, Ci-en, and Fantia in banning AI-generated content on their platforms in May 2023.
The new addendum to the terms of use can be read in full on the pixiv website.
