I have been using CivitAI practically since it was created. Real person NSFW content has been banned since day one, because they didn't want to get sued. The change in April was a cosmetic update to how they displayed search results. It completely separated out real person content and NSFW content, to ensure that NSFW could not be displayed in proximity to real person content. This changed how content was displayed, not what content was allowed.
I'm sure some people do generate porn with celebrity LoRAs, but there are also plenty of legitimate uses such as parody, criticism, transformative art, etc. If people do post inappropriate content, there are civil remedies and now also federal criminal remedies via the TAKE IT DOWN Act. CivitAI is fully legally compliant, but they are being held hostage by an unelected, unaccountable payment processor cartel.
