This document provides content to an interactive in-world exhibit for educating Residents about how to verify their accounts and select viewer preferences for content maturity.





Access to some content now requires verification

Previously, any resident could choose to access any content in Second Life. A new policy now restricts access to certain "adult" content.

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.





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 SecondLife website.

In addition to granting access to Adult regions, this form of verification also permits access to individual parcels or whole estates restricted to "age-verified only". (These are rare.)

Age-verification status does not appear on in-world Profiles and cannot be tested by script.
