Pornhub to introduce 'government approved' age checks in UK

Pornhub and other adult websites plan to implement stricter age verification measures in the UK next month, including "government approved" age checks. This move aims to comply with the Online Safety Act and better protect children from accessing explicit content online. The changes may involve demanding photo ID or credit card checks before users can view adult material, marking a significant shift in how age verification is handled on such platforms. Regulators like Ofcom emphasize the importance of effective age assurance to safeguard young users online.
