Pornhub returns for Australians, but only if Apple says you’re over 18
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported50m ago
Pornhub has resumed operations in Australia following a period of unavailability that began in March. The site’s return is contingent upon the implementation of age verification protocols, specifically utilizing Apple’s age-check features for iPhone and iPad users to ensure compliance with local regulations.
The Canadian-owned platform cited the difficulty of bypassing Apple’s security measures as a primary reason for integrating these specific verification tools. The service had previously gone dark in the country to adhere to national age verification laws regarding adult content.
