"You can add a not-for-all-audiences tag to your model card metadata. When this tag is present, a message will be displayed on the model page indicating that the model is not for all audiences. Users can click through this message to view the model card.Excerpt from Hugging Face's Model Card Guidelines
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This content gating mechanism may interact with age verification or content moderation obligations under applicable law, including COPPA for platforms accessible to minors and emerging online safety regulations in jurisdictions such as the UK and EU. The document does not assert that this mechanism constitutes a legally sufficient age verification or access control measure under any specific regulation. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The click-through mechanism is a disclosure tool, not a verified access control. Organizations relying on this mechanism as a compliance safeguard for age-restricted or sensitive AI model content should evaluate whether it meets applicable legal standards in their jurisdiction. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: UK Online Safety Act and EU Digital Services Act obligations related to content moderation and age-appropriate design may create heightened exposure for platforms hosting sensitive AI models accessible to minors. US organizations should consider COPPA applicability where models could be accessed by children. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations publishing models with sensitive capabilities should assess whether the not-for-all-audiences tag and click-through mechanism are sufficient for their compliance obligations, particularly in regulated sectors. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether the platform's click-through disclosure mechanism satisfies applicable content moderation or age gating requirements in relevant jurisdictions before relying on it as a primary compliance control.
