Europe tries to force age verification onto Pornhub and other adult sites
Briefly

Pornhub has acknowledged the European Commission's investigation regarding online safety and stated its commitment to protect minors. The site uses the Restricted To Adults (RTA) label for better filtering to block underage users. In response to new age verification laws in multiple US states, Pornhub has blocked access in those regions, highlighting concerns over personal data security with traditional verification methods. The company proposes a device-based verification system as a safer alternative, ensuring that users are verified just once.
In the realm of online safety, the protection of minors is paramount, and we are committed to complying with laws that balance safety and user privacy.
Implementing an effective age verification system through device-based identification could prevent identity theft while still providing access to adult content for those of legal age.
