On 25 July 2025, to comply with the Online Safety Act, we implemented AI technology to blur existing NSFW (Not Safe for Work) profile pictures and free gallery images. This action was necessary as a significant number of service providers did not voluntarily comply with the new regulations.
As a result, many profiles now have blurred profile pictures, which are currently only visible to members who have completed age verification.
UK Online Safety Act Overview
We would like to inform you that, due to recent changes introduced by the UK Online Safety Act, we are required to take action to ensure the website remains compliant with these new legal obligations.
The Online Safety Act mandates that platforms hosting adult content (including user-generated content) must take steps to prevent underage from accessing pornographic or sexually explicit material, including content depicting nudity, sexual acts, or fantasies intended to cause arousal. Failure to comply could lead to access restrictions that affect all users.
To avoid restricting the entire website behind a mandatory age-verification gateway and keep your public visibility high, we are implementing a solution that keeps the website open while enforcing age verification only where required. This approach preserves access for the broader audience while protecting the viability of the platform, your visibility, and your customer base.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please understand that these changes are required by law and, therefore, their enforcement is beyond our control, and these changes are essential to ensure continued platform availability and legal compliance.
This applies to all Offering Service Accounts and Groups, regardless of their location, who wish to maintain a publicly visible profile on AdultWork.com
