‌Only people in the UK who already have a Pornhub account will be able to access the site from February 2. Last October it said that it had already lost 77% of its UK traffic as a result of the Online Safety Act requiring age verification on porn sites to stop children accessing them. "New users in the UK will no longer be able to access Aylo’s content sharing platforms, including Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube. UK users who have verified their age will retain access through their existing accounts." We’ve taken strong and swift action against non-compliance, launching investigations into more than 80 porn sites and fining a porn provider £1million, with more to come.
