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.
Fake ass protectionism. IDs is just a way to have the government spy on your private sexual preferences. Any kid can see porn if they want to. This doesn’t stop shit. Porn can be pirated and it’s accessible in other countries with a VPN. This bullshit law is nothing but a way for the government to invade privacy.
Whatever website people use instead of pornhub will be available to all ages by virtue of not following any laws.
