The End of Free Porn? Pornhub, Brazzers, YouPorn to have age verification to stop minors accessing adult content

Pornhub's new age-verification tool, AgeID, has many worried that it could track people's porn use ahead of its launch in April to comply with the Digital Economy Act 2017
UPDATED MAR 6, 2019

Pornhub is once again making headlines after it revealed plans to introduce AgeID, it's online age verification tool, to stop people below 18 from accessing pornographic content in the UK. The company was recently in the news for providing the city of Philadelphia lubricant to grease the city’s poles in a bid to prevent Philadelphia Eagles fans climbing them during Super Bowl LII. 

New rules set out in UK's Digital Economy Act 2017 mandate that porn viewers must prove they are over 18. Pornhub's parent company Mindgeek, which also owns pornography websites YouPorn and Brazzers, came out with AgeID to adhere to the new regulations, Daily Mail reports.
