18 U.S.C. § 2257 Statement
Our recordkeeping and real-performer policy for an AI-generated anime and manhwa platform.
Manhwa.xxx publishes synthetic and drawn artwork, not explicit photographs or recordings of actual human performers. Real-person explicit content is prohibited. Because there are no human performers in operator-created synthetic images, there are no performer records for that material. Any future covered content would require a verified records program and a real custodian address before publication.
This summary is for convenience. The complete provisions below control.1. Nature of the Service
Manhwa.xxx is designed as an artificial-intelligence image-generation service and a public library for fictional, drawn, anime, manga, and manhwa-style artwork. Operator-created images are generated digitally and are not photographs or recordings of actual human performers engaged in actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct.
Manhwa.xxx does not employ, hire, contract with, direct, photograph, film, or record human performers for sexually explicit productions.
2. Statement concerning 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 and 2257A
Under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 and 2257A and 28 C.F.R. Part 75, specified producers of visual depictions involving actual human beings engaged in actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct may be required to verify performers' identities and ages, create and maintain records, and publish a statement identifying where those records are available.
To the extent material displayed by Manhwa.xxx is created entirely through artificial generation or drawn illustration and does not depict an actual human being engaged in covered conduct, Manhwa.xxx understands that no performer-identification records exist for that synthetic material because there was no human performer. This statement is not an admission that any particular depiction is subject to those statutes.
3. Real-person explicit content is not permitted
Manhwa.xxx does not authorize users to upload, generate from, edit, or publicly post photographs, video frames, scans, deepfakes, face swaps, or other sexually explicit depictions of an actual or identifiable human being. This prohibition applies even if the person is an adult, consented elsewhere, or is claimed to be a model, celebrity, creator, or the uploading user.
Reference-image and editing tools are not permission to submit real-person explicit material. Content that appears photographic, live-action, derived from a real person's intimate image, or otherwise likely to involve an actual human performer may be blocked, quarantined, or removed.
4. User-generated material
Users are independent content submitters and are responsible for every upload and publication. They must comply with the Terms of Use, Safety Standard, this Statement, and all applicable recordkeeping, consent, privacy, and criminal laws.
No user may rely on this Statement as a substitute for records they are legally required to create or maintain. A user's label, age claim, disclaimer, or assertion that material is “AI” does not establish that an actual person was not used. We may demand provenance information, source files, written certifications, or other evidence and may remove material when its origin cannot be verified.
5. No covered-content records custodian at present
Because the Service presently prohibits publication of sexually explicit depictions of actual human performers and operator-created material is synthetic, Manhwa.xxx does not presently designate a §2257 custodian or records address for such prohibited material.
If Manhwa.xxx ever elects to publish content for which it is legally required to maintain performer records, it will establish the required verification and recordkeeping program and publish the custodian's accurate name, title, and physical street address before that content is made available. A post-office box or invented placeholder will not be used.
6. Age and consent standard
Every sexualized character must be unmistakably an adult. Manhwa.xxx prohibits minors, young-looking or age-ambiguous characters, age-regression themes, “barely legal” framing, child sexual abuse material, and any attempt to evade age safeguards. Merely stating “18+” in a prompt does not cure a youthful depiction.
Manhwa.xxx also prohibits non-consensual intimate imagery, sexual exploitation, coercion, trafficking, and real-person sexual deepfakes. See our Anti-Trafficking Policy.
7. Reporting questionable material
If material appears to depict an actual person, a minor, an age-ambiguous person, trafficking, non-consensual conduct, or other prohibited content, use the Report button on the artwork or email [email protected]. Include the exact URL or content ID and the reason for concern. Do not download, redistribute, or attach suspected illegal imagery unless specifically instructed by competent authorities.
We may disable access, preserve relevant account and technical records, investigate provenance, terminate accounts, and report apparent criminal conduct when required or appropriate.
8. Legal contact and updates
Questions specifically concerning this Statement may be sent to [email protected]. General support cannot provide legal advice or certify a user's independent compliance.
This Statement reflects the present design and content rules of Manhwa.xxx. We will update it if the Service's content model, operator information, or applicable legal obligations change.
