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.
