UK watchdog investigating Pornhub over concerns it can still be accessed by children

Ofcom says site’s age-checking regime may not be ‘highly effective’, as required by the Online Safety Act

One of the world’s most visited pornography websites is being investigated by the UK’s communications watchdog over concerns it can still be accessed by children.

Pornhub’s age checking regime may not be “highly effective”, according to Ofcom, and could be in breach of online safety laws requiring strict measures to prevent under-18s from accessing sexually explicit content.
