Europe EditionPornhub Exits France, Its Second-Biggest Market, over Age Verification Law
- Aylo, owner of Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, suspended user-uploaded content access in France on Wednesday over age verification law conflicts.
- The suspension follows France's gradual 2025 mandate requiring adult sites to verify users' ages via credit card, ID, or third-party 'double-blind' services.
- Aylo executives stated they support age verification but warn platform-level checks threaten user privacy and promote a privacy-infringing, ineffective law.
- Pornhub will display a message featuring Delacroix’s painting 'Liberty leading the people' to French visitors, calling the law dangerous and ineffective.
- French officials welcomed the suspension as reducing minors’ access to harmful content while urging Aylo to comply, but Aylo suggests system-level age verification by OS developers instead.
