[Ojisama]

Short & sweet.

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 new terms explicitly ban the posting of "obscene" and "lewd" material, as well as art depicting the exploitation of minors, non-consensual sexual activity, and "any content that appeals to the prurient interest, is patently offensive in light of community standards where you are located or where such content may be accessed or distributed."
