All porn websites operating in the UK will be required to implement "highly effective" age verification measures within the next month, regulator Ofcom has announced. The move is designed to provide significantly greater protection for children online.
Major adult content providers, including Pornhub, Stripchat, and Jerkmate, have agreed to the strengthened measures. These new requirements, part of the Online Safety Act (OSA), will apply not only to dedicated adult sites but also to social media, search, and gaming services that host adult material.
