Ofcom investigates 34 porn sites over age checks
Ofcom said on Friday that more than 6,000 porn sites would begin verifying users, but it believes some are ignoring the new rules.
The regulator said on Friday more than 6,000 sites allowing pornography and other adult content would start using "highly effective" tools to verify or estimate whether users were over or under the age of 18. It has opened formal investigations into 8579 LLC, AVS Group Ltd, Kick Online Entertainment S.A. and Trendio Ltd, which it says have more than nine million monthly visitors combined. More than 400,000 people have now signed a petition calling for the repeal of the Online Safety Act - the law requiring age checks to stop children encountering adult content.
