Age restrictions

Nexus sites are open to people aged 13 or older. Due to legal reasons minors under the age of 13 are not allowed to use the site and should not register an account. Similarly content marked as adult-only should only be unlocked by members aged 18 or over.

 

 

Reference post

For those who are unfamiliar with the LAW. If you give us any reason to suspect you are under age we are required BY LAW (in the US COPPA, not sure what the UK similar law is called) We are required by that LAW to remove you from the site. If we do not remove anyone suspected of being underage - and saying you are under age is automatic, then the site could be closed for violating that LAW. So don't come whining to us because you thought it would be cute to say you are underage. Instead, we will require some proof of age to reinstate - BY LAW, not just some silly Nexus rule.

International scope

This is an American law, however, the Federal Trade Commission has made it clear that the requirements of COPPA will apply to foreign-operated web sites if such sites "are directed to children in the U.S. or knowingly collect information from children in the U.S." Since the law is US federal, it's applicable only to websites that run:

• by websites under US jurisdiction
• by websites which servers are hosted in US
• by websites which headquarters are located in the US territory.
• by commercial websites.^[21]

However, the law caused huge international impact, so that even websites which are not either under US jurisdiction, or which servers or headquarters are not located into US, started blocking children under 13,^[22] even giving up parental consent.^[23] Staff of these websites explain their child blocking implementation by common sense of children - that they don't have enough common sense, or they can't make their own decisions. They compare the website accounts to documents like driver's license, National ID card (or a passport) etc.
