Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Australian adults will be able to access Pornhub once again after the site brought in age-checking on Apple devices in response to legal requirements that initially saw the site block users.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“In our view, Apple’s Australian device-level age-verification update offers one of the strongest and hardest-to-circumvent protections currently available for helping prevent minors from accessing age-inappropriate content,” Kekesi said.
Aylo has argued for years that age checks belong on the device rather than on individual websites.
