Aylo, the company that owns porn sites like Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, is planning to suspend service in France in protest of a new law that will require porn companies to verify the age of visitors. The deadline for porn sites to implement age verification is June 7 but Pornhub will block users starting Wednesday, June 4, according to France24.
Websites will be required to verify a user’s age using a credit card or a government-issued ID document. France’s law requires porn companies to provide an option for age verification that relies on a third party, hypothetically protecting the user’s privacy. But Aylo has argued that third-party verification puts private information at risk of hacks and leaks.
Too late France is already pregnant!
Serious note the only way to fight these laws is to make the ip addresses of visitors publicly available.
