Greetings from pixiv.
As explained in the announcement, revisions were made to the guidelines on April 10th, 2024 due to the following reasons:
・To prohibit posts that are real-life photographs or photo-realistic images that can cause confusion in society, or real-life photographs or photo-realistic images that can be interpreted as sexual or cruel content.
・To address a broader category and to prevent any new posts of this kind.
However, the guidelines were not clear enough, and we had to release an explanation. Therefore, we have once again revised the guidelines as follows to make our intentions clear.
The revised guidelines are more specific than the ones revised on April 10th, 2024.
Please note that we may have to make further revisions in the future to address a broader category.
Thank you for your understanding.
