The NSFW designation is there to limit the risk of users between 13 and 17 being exposed to mature content, which would violate the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). It seems a reasonable and fair guideline. Only if the entire community is based on mature content does the server need to be designated NSFW. Discord clarified that just because one server has an NSFW channel does not mean the whole server must be locked down. As has always been the case, users are required to out an NSFW gate on any channels containing mature content. On Monday, Discord changed some of its guidelines involving "not safe for work" (NSFW) content. "These changes are being rolled out over the next few days, and we will be working with server owners to ensure they are aware and understand the new requirements."
"To comply with Apple's policies, servers labeled NSFW will not be accessible to iOS users," a Discord spokesperson told TechSpot. It also said that the complete banning of iOS users from NSFW servers was to comply with Apple App Store restrictions. Update (04/13/21): Discord explained that the new guidelines were, in fact, to ensure the platform conforms to COPPA requirements. From now on if users must access NSFW content on Discord from an iPhone or iPad, they must do so from a browser. The app now blocks mature content, including entire communities, regardless of user age. Bottom line: For those using the Discord app on iOS, it just became a little more inconvenient to access any servers designated NSFW.
