We deeply apologize for the recent increase in materials being set to private on Clip Studio Assets and for any concern caused by our lack of explanation. We are currently working on ways to continue hosting a wide spectrum of creative expression on the platform. To address some common questions: - Materials currently set to private will be reviewed and republished, starting with those affected by moderation errors and those that creators have updated to resolve issues. We deeply apologize to both creators and users for the inconvenience caused. - We are working to update the service so that you can re-download materials you have already purchased or downloaded even if the original listing has been set to private. We appreciate your patience while these updates are underway. - You can continue to use materials that you have already downloaded in personal and commercial artwork even if the listing is removed, unless it was removed for copyright issues or a serious rule violation. Clip Studio Assets has a community of diverse users of many age groups, regions, and cultures, each with varying attitudes toward what is considered sensitive content. Increasingly, we must consider who is viewing such content and how it is presented. Moderation decisions are made on the basis of keeping the platform safe and universally accessible, with no intention to reject artists’ creative expression. However, as the Clip Studio Assets service currently operates on a binary choice between displaying content to all users or removing it entirely, there are cases where we are required to private materials or require modification before re-posting. We recognize feedback from creators expressing that it is difficult to tell which specific elements are affected and how to modify materials for re-publication. We will provide clearer explanations in light of any changes to evaluation criteria, along with more concrete examples to make it easier for creators to check their materials before posting. To support a wide range of creative expressions while ensuring user safety, we are working on ways to improve Clip Studio Assets. This includes plans to strengthen the system to include age restrictions, regional controls, and user preferences. Our goal is to enable creators to publish their materials to the appropriate audiences without needing to remove materials completely, so it can remain a safe and reliable service for both users and creators.
