Access to some content now requires verification
A new policy now restricts access to certain "adult" content in Second Life.
In order to maintain access to all Second Life content, residents must now "adult verify" their accounts.
Choosing to verify by "payment info" or by "age"
Residents may verify their accounts either by linking the account to a payment source ("payment info"), or by demonstrating that the account belongs to someone 18 or older.
Very rarely, individual parcels or whole estates may restrict access to one or the other form of verification.
Unlike payment info status, age verification does not appear on profiles and cannot be tested by script.
Verifying by "age"
To demonstrate that they are over 18 years old, a resident provides nation-specific identity data to a third-party company (Aristotle) using a page on the Second Life website.
Choosing payment info by Second Life or XStreetSL account
Payment info is established by linking a credit card or PayPal to a resident's Second Life or XStreetSL account.
