We are segmenting content through age verification zoning
Starting today, a screen where a cat asks for age verification will be displayed for content intended for users aged 18 and older.
This is one of our initiatives to keep note a place that everyone can use with peace of mind while maintaining its diverse atmosphere. We apologize for the extra step while browsing note, and we appreciate your cooperation.
For articles posted on note that are considered 'for ages 18 and up,' a cat image will appear first.
This is a system where only those who have completed age verification can access the article.
In addition, we have partially updated our Terms of Service. Please check the following, as some points may overlap with our prior announcement.
Background for introducing the age verification screen
A wide variety of content has been posted on note to date. One of our initiatives to keep note a place that everyone can use with peace of mind while maintaining this diverse atmosphere is the 'age verification screen for content for ages 18 and up'.
As a foundation for creating and nurturing creativity and culture, note has always believed that respecting freedom of expression and freedom of thought and belief is essential. At the same time, it is also important that creators and users of all ages can use the platform with peace of mind.
To maintain a balance between both, we decided that rather than simply banning specific content, we want to achieve the optimal matching between content and people.
If an age verification screen is displayed on your article
If an 'age verification screen' is displayed on an article you posted, but you believe it is not content limited to those 18 and older, you can submit an application.
※ All applications will be reviewed, and the display will be changed depending on the results. Please note that we will not contact you with individual review results.

note will continue to make improvements so that everyone can start creating with peace of mind and continue to do so safely.
