Pornhub, a leading adult entertainment platform, is set to introduce significant access restrictions for its users in the United Kingdom starting next week. The new policy will require all individuals accessing the site within the UK to possess a Pornhub account and undergo a mandatory age verification process.
Mandatory Account and Verification
Under the forthcoming changes, simply visiting the Pornhub website will no longer be sufficient for UK-based users. Access will be contingent upon having an existing account or creating a new one, followed by a verification of the user’s age. The specifics of the verification method have not yet been fully detailed, but it is understood to be a measure aimed at complying with evolving regulatory landscapes concerning online adult content.
Implications for UK Users
This move by Pornhub is expected to impact a substantial number of users across the United Kingdom. The platform has not provided an explicit timeline for the implementation beyond “next week,” leaving users to anticipate the exact date of the policy’s enforcement. The company has stated that these measures are being taken to ensure compliance with legal requirements and to foster a safer online environment.
