Adult material on Kahana is intentional: creators declare it, Library defaults protect casual browse, and access is age-gated. This page states the rules plainly. Legal details live under the product legal pages.
Primary action: Creators: set 18+ correctly when listing · Buyers: verify age when prompted.
Why this exists
Keep adult material intentional. Creators declare it; access is age-gated; discovery defaults protect people who are not looking for it.
Overview: Trust.
For creators. Flagging
- When listing / readiness: explicitly set adult yes or no.
- Flag hubs that are 18+ as adult content.
- Adult hubs can list on Library, but they sit behind adult filters by default, so the funnel is smaller.
- Adult hubs are not SEO-indexed (no sitemap / bot HTML treatment like general listed non-adult hubs).
Listing steps: List a hub on Library.
For everyone. Accessing adult hubs
- Must be logged in.
- Enter date of birth when prompted.
- The app verifies 18+. Verification is stored after a successful verify.
- No anonymous “I’m 18” checkbox unlock.
- Paid adult hubs: age gate and purchase as required. Buyer path: Buying & access.
Library behavior
- Default: adult content hidden / excluded.
- Filters: include / exclude / only (as the product offers).
- Guests: can’t complete the adult access path.
Verified creators (separate)
- Separate from adult gating.
- Badge = Stripe Connect charge-ready (
charges_enabled). - Not a “safe content” or family-friendly certification.
