Is Discord Banning NSFW Content?
The popular gaming and communication platform, Discord, has long been embroiled in controversy regarding its stance on adult content, commonly known as NSFW (Not Suitable For Work) content. The community has often been left confused and seeking clarification on Discord’s official policy towards NSFW servers, groups, and content.
To answer this pressing question, we shall delve into the updates and official statements made by Discord. Before we get into it, let us define NSFW content in the context of Discord: Images, videos, or content that may depict explicit violence, gore, or strong language, aimed at viewers aged 17 and above.
Discord’s Update and New Policies
On December 22, 2020, Discord rolled out an update changing its terms of service for server settings, regarding allowing access to age-restricted servers for users below 18 years old on iOS devices. Specifically, Minors cannot view mature or explicit content, including lewd, graphic, violative, adult images, audio, or conversations_ as stated by Discord’s updated Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines.
So, to sum it up, Discord explicitly prohibits all content deemed suitable for Minors under 17. As they grow older, reaching 17 years or above allows access to certain server settings categorized as adult, though specific content exposure may vary with server opt-ins and regulations.
