Pornhub to introduce 'government approved' age checks in UK


Parent company Aylo hasn't spelt out what the age checking methods will be, but say they will be introduced within a month.

Aylo, the owner of adult sites Pornhub, YouPorn and RedTube, says it will introduce "government approved age assurance methods" in the UK. In a statement, Aylo's vice president of brand and community Alex Kekesi said Ofcom presented a variety of flexible methods of age assurance that were less intrusive than those it had seen in other jurisdictions. "When governments and regulators engage with industry in good faith, the outcome is not just better compliance, it's smarter, more effective solutions".
