Last updated: 12 September 2026

This page states Pineappl's position on United States federal record-keeping law 18 U.S.C. §2257 and its implementing regulations (28 C.F.R. Part 75), which apply to certain producers of sexually explicit visual content.

Not available to United States residents

Pineappl restricts registration and access from the United States. This is an intentional, enforced restriction — not a formality — implemented at account signup.

No US nexus

Pineappl does not operate in, target, or knowingly permit access from the United States, does not maintain servers or infrastructure in the United States for the purpose of producing or distributing content, and does not consider itself a "producer" within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. §2257 or 28 C.F.R. Part 75.

Any explicit content on Pineappl is created and uploaded directly by members for their own accounts, depicting only themselves, their partner, or others who have given informed consent to appear and to be shared on the platform, as required by our Terms of Service. Pineappl does not commission, direct, or produce this content.

Age assurance

All members must confirm they are 18 or older to register, and our Terms of Service require that everyone depicted in any content — explicit or otherwise — be 18 or older, without exception. Profiles are reviewed before becoming visible to other members.
