Pornhub Owner Aylo Partially Restores UK Access After Age Verification Checks
Cyprus-based Aylo partially restored Pornhub access for new UK users Tuesday, ending a February block imposed to protect minors. The adult content conglomerate, which also operates YouPorn and Redtube, said the move applies only to eligible adults who have passed age verification checks.
Aylo stated it was "taking a measured step to restore access" after blocking the platform in the United Kingdom earlier this year. The company cited compliance with statutory requirements to exclude minors as the basis for the initial restriction and the current conditional reopening.
The partial restoration does not represent a full return to unrestricted access, with Aylo maintaining that verification gates remain mandatory for all new registrants. The company offered no timeline for expanding access beyond verified users or for lifting additional restrictions.
