Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Pornhub to Implement UK Age Verification Methods
Caption: Pornhub to Implement UK Age Verification Methods. Pornhub’s owner, Aylo, announced it will implement "government-approved age assurance" for UK users. The company has yet to reveal specific methods for verifying user age. UK regulator Ofcom stated that the current click-button system on Pornhub is insufficient for age verification. Aylo previously resisted age checks in France, where it suspended its site due to local rules. The UK’s Online Safety Act mandates that adult sites enforce robust age checks by summer 2025. The new age verification methods will be introduced by Aylo on Pornhub by 25 July 2025. Pornhub is the world's most visited adult website, according to Similarweb data. The platform faces increasing scrutiny from regulators globally over child access prevention. The European Commission launched an investigation into Pornhub and two other adult sites in May. Ofcom is examining multiple adult sites in the UK to ensure they comply with child safety regulations. The regulator's model is "the most robust in terms of actual and meaningful protection we've seen to date," he added. ”When governments and regulators engage with industry in good faith, the outcome is not just better compliance, it's smarter, more effective solutions”. But the statement does not yet reveal what methods the site will actually employ to check users ages. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
