Some believe the move could adversely affect LGBT+ communities ( YouTube has a long history of this, for example), while others are concerned that many art communities could be incorrectly marked as NSFW. Discord users are already criticizing the company for the new policy, for most of the same reasons that Tumblr users spoke out in 2018. Tumblr was allowed to return to the App Store shortly afterwards, but not before the platform experienced a mass exodus of users upset at the NSFW ban.ĭiscord users are already criticizing the company for the new policy, for most of the same reasons that Tumblr users spoke out in 2018. Content may not contain nudity, explicit sexual acts, or content created for the purpose of sexual gratification or arousal. Tumblr famously banned all NSFW content from its platform in 2018, only days after Apple removed its app from the App Store. The move is likely intended to keep Discord on the App Store, as Apple has historically blocked apps that feature or promote adult content. “iOS users aged 18+ will still be able to join and access NSFW communities on the desktop and web versions of Discord,” the company said. More importantly, NSFW communities and channels will be blocked on all iOS devices, even for people over the age of 18. If communities with adult content don’t add the warning themselves, Discord may do it on their behalf. No one between the ages of 13 and 17 will be able to join or view NSFW communities. The platform has allowed individual channels to be marked as NSFW for years, but now entire communities can have the warning. Discord announced a policy change yesterday ( via The Verge), explaining that all adult content should be kept behind an NSFW (‘Not Safe For Work’) warning.
