Pornhub and other adult sites back online in France after three-week protest


Adult websites back online after court suspended decision requiring platforms based in the EU to verify users’ ages

Major adult websites Pornhub, YouPorn and RedTube were back online in France Friday after a court suspended a decision requiring pornographic platforms based in the European Union to verify users’ ages. “Requiring you to repeatedly provide sensitive personal information creates an unacceptable security risk that we refuse to impose on our users,” the company said in a message displayed on the sites’ homepages earlier this month.
