Pornhub to Block Unverified Users in United Kingdom Over Safety Law

#London, #UK
Pornhub and other Aylo-owned websites will block access for unverified users in the United Kingdom starting February 2 after labeling the Online Safety Act a failure.Parent company Aylo reports that traffic fell by 77 percent as users turned to unregulated platforms and virtual private networks.While regulator Ofcom has launched investigations into non-compliance, Aylo executives argue that manufacturers like Apple and Google should manage age-restricted access.
