18 U.S.C. § 2257 Statement

A short compliance statement on why federal record-keeping rules for depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct do not apply to anime-porn.io.

What § 2257 requires

Section 2257 of Title 18 of the United States Code, together with 28 C.F.R. Part 75, sets record-keeping and labelling duties for producers of visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct. Producers covered by the law must keep records proving every performer was at least 18 at the time of production and must display a notice naming the custodian of records.

Why it does not apply here

anime-porn.io does not produce or host visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct. The site consists of written coverage of AI anime porn chat, site graphics such as the logo and social images, and illustrations of fictional anime characters. No real people or performers appear in any image on the site, and no photography or video of real people is published.

Fictional characters are adults

Any character shown or described on the site is a fictional adult. Character archetypes describe personality, not age. The site does not publish or link to material that sexualises minors, in any art style. Coverage follows the same standard, set out on the methodology page.

Third-party platforms

The site links to AI anime porn chat platforms named on the Anime Porn page, such as Candy AI and OurDream. Those platforms are independent third parties and are responsible for their own legal obligations, including any record-keeping rules that apply to material they host or generate. Nothing on this site takes on those obligations for content published elsewhere.

Voluntary adult policy

Independent of § 2257, the site limits access to adults through an 18+ self-certification gate. Details are on the age verification page.

Amendments

Material changes to this statement update the page's dateModified and are noted on the editorial policy page. See also the privacy policy and the terms of service.
