Pornhub to Block New UK Users in February
Aylo will block new UK users from Pornhub and sister sites from Feb. 2, citing privacy risks and failure of the Online Safety Act to stop underage access, with 45% bypassing age checks.
- On February 2, Aylo will restrict access to Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn in the United Kingdom, blocking unverified new users while allowing verified users and paid sites access.
- Aylo says the change follows six months under the Online Safety Act, citing the law's failure to stop non-compliant porn sites and a 77% UK traffic drop at Pornhub.
- In Tuesday’s presentation, Solomon Friedman said, `You have a dedicated regulator working in good faith, but unfortunately, the law they are operating under cannot possibly succeed`, highlighting non-compliant Google search results and urging device-level RTA filters.
- Ofcom says it has launched investigations into more than 80 sites and fined a porn provider 1 million, while disputing Aylo’s characterization and continuing dialogue.
- Privacy experts note age-verification can expose sensitive user data, with privacy advocates warning cloud-based checks collect sensitive information and Aylo mirrors its US exit from 25 states where VPNs enable circumvention.
