Aylo, the parent company of adult sites Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, announced it would suspend operations in France due to new age verification laws. These laws require adult sites to verify users' ages through personal data like IDs or credit cards. Aylo argues this approach infringes on privacy and is not effective, suggesting that age verification should be enforced at the operating-system level, where major companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft can implement it more securely. They plan to communicate their concerns directly to the public.
By showing the message rather than Pornhub's vast library of adult content, Aylo is communicating directly with the French people to tell them how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is.
Aylo is extremely pro- the concept of age verification... But requiring individual platforms to confirm visitors' ages poses a very serious risk with respect to your privacy rights.
