View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
We’re introducing additional safeguards to how developers access sexually explicit content from our API across all endpoints, ensure (all the while) not to break moderation flows that may depend on these.
This is corporate speak. Please tell us what that *means* in practice.
Will mature content still be available through the Data API? Or only through the paid API? What specifically is changing?
Folks who provide third party clients to Reddit have users who view and submit both SFW and NSFW content, and it would be helpful to know what is about to change in that regard.

I wonder if this is them bowing to idiotic demands for government ID and video verification to see potentially NSFW content. They can't do that if people are using third party clients that obviously won't comply with such rules.
