Nexus Mods is set to introduce age verification for folks in the UK and EU attempting to gander at NSFW add-ons, as part of incoming changes to how the site handles mods containing adult or “illegal” content.
In a news post, Nexus Mods content team lead SlugGirl outlined that these changes are being made in response to the UK’s Online Safety Act and the EU’s Digital Services Act, along with guidance being issued by UK regulator Ofcom. Site founder Robin ‘Dark0ne’ Scott has commented on the post in an effort to reassure users that these policy adjustments aren’t a result of Nexus Mods’ recent change in ownership, and would have had to happen regardless.
