Fluxer only restricts access where we believe a current legal requirement applies. This page lists every restriction we apply, and we update it whenever one changes.
Section 3.2 of our privacy policy lists the age checks we never use and how we estimate your region from your IP address. Where a law demands one, we restrict access. We'd rather be unavailable somewhere than ask everyone for their passport or face.
Current restrictions
Mississippi, United States
Fluxer is unavailable while your connection appears to come from Mississippi, and you can't register, sign in or use the service. If you already have a Fluxer account, it stays intact with its data, and you can still use it from any region where Fluxer is available.
HB 1126 (Walker Montgomery Protecting Children Online Act) requires age verification for every user and parental consent for anyone under the age of 18. In our reading, the law applies to Fluxer because it's a service with communities and channels.
The Fifth Circuit let it take effect in July 2025, and the Supreme Court declined to re-block it in August 2025. It's enforceable while the constitutional challenge continues.
United Kingdom
You can register, sign in and use Fluxer, but age-restricted communities, channels and media stay locked in the United Kingdom. We no longer offer the credit card check that unlocked them, and accounts that passed it before keep their access.
The Online Safety Act 2023, enforceable since July 25, 2025, applies to user-to-user services, including group communication. Part 3 requires age assurance only for specific kinds of harmful content, so we only restrict age-restricted content.
Brazil
You can register, sign in and use Fluxer, but age-restricted communities, channels and media are unavailable, and there's no option to verify your age in Brazil.
The Digital ECA (Lei 15.211/2025), enforceable since March 17, 2026, bans self-declared age checks and requires age assurance that can be audited. We can't offer a compliant path in Brazil because we don't collect government IDs, biometric data or CPF numbers.
Laws we assessed as not applying
Fluxer is a community chat app with no algorithmic feed, private friend lists, and no business in adult content, so several US age verification laws don't apply to it. We don't restrict access under Tennessee (HB 1891), Florida (HB 3), Virginia (SB 854), South Dakota (HB 1053), Wyoming (HB 43), Ohio (ORC 1349.10, via HB 96), or Arizona (HB 2112).
Louisiana (HB 440), Arkansas (SB 396 / Act 689), Ohio (HB 33), Georgia (SB 351), Utah (SB 194 / HB 464) and Texas (HB 18) are enjoined. We'll reassess if any take effect.
