Nexus Mods is initiating significant changes to its platform for compliance with the UK and EU laws aimed at protecting children from inappropriate content. This includes introducing an age verification system for users in these regions and a new tagging system for adult content such as pornography and discussions of suicide. User interaction functionalities will also be modified, replacing the old Block Author feature with a more refined "Ignore" option, allowing users to limit interaction with content they wish to avoid. The site aims to eliminate illegal content to adhere to the UK’s Online Safety Act and the EU’s Digital Services Act. Community feedback on these changes reflects both support for enhanced safety measures and concerns about the implementation of age verification processes.
