Pornhub returns to Australia for Apple users after new age checks

Access limited to specific devices

The site is now available only to eligible adult users who have confirmed their age through Apple's process. This restriction applies because the new system relies on data held within Apple accounts or linked credit cards.

Reasons for previous block

Aylo previously blocked Australian users in March citing concerns that third-party verification would fail to protect minors. The company also warned that requiring personal information created significant data privacy risks for its customers.

Apple safety features enable return

Apple recently rolled out age checks across Australia after testing the system in the United Kingdom earlier this year. Under these rules, users can verify their identity using a passport or by checking the length of time they have held an account.
