Apple recently introduced new age checks in Australia, following a rollout in the UK.<\/p>\n
Aylo said it was returning to Australia as Apple has \u201cset a benchmark\u201d by setting default child safety features on all devices unless owners confirmed they are adults.<\/p>\n
In March, Pornhub began blocking Australian users in protest of the country\u2019s new age verification laws.<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s new age verification laws took effect from March 9.<\/p>\n
These laws reflect phase 2 of the Online Safety Codes registered by the eSafety Commissioner to mandate strict age verification on materials identified as unsuitable for Australian users under the age of 18.<\/p>\n
The new law requires websites hosting pornography and age-restricted material to implement safety measures including facial age estimation, digital wallets and photo ID.<\/p>\n
These age verification methods are already in place and used by major social media platforms across Australia under Australia\u2019s under-16s social media ban.<\/p>\n
Non-compliance carries penalties of up to $49.5 million per breach.<\/p>\n
The company has previously taken similar action in the United Kingdom and France, but Aylo has a problematic reputation.<\/p>\n
It has previously been found by the US Department of Justice in having profited from sex-trafficking proceeds.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the US Federal Trade Commission charged Aylo for deceiving its users about efforts to remove child sexual abuse and non-consensual content from its pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pornhub has returned to Australia but only adults with a certain type of device will be able to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":920888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[488756,488789,488770,488753,488757,488783,488763,488792,488772,488755,488751,488762,488775,2687,488777,488791,1337,64,63,260991,488764,488771,488787,10355,502,488776,8849,488761,87205,30284,226736,105298,488786,260993,488779,488752,8176,488760,488774,7812,25494,488780,488758,488781,30132,488746,1449,488773,341876,44,488766,488778,488748,488765,299720,488745,204228,488784,488767,5948,119575,488788,2647,261000,488749,488790,260995,146596,313300,391600,460846,382541,23023,482922,488747,378887,488754,488759,488785,488769,488750,488782,488768,92241,113955,41313],"class_list":["post-920887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-s-age-verification-laws","tag-s-australian-age-verification-process","tag-s-biggest-porn-site","tag-s-new-age-verification-laws","tag-s-new-age-verification-laws-12","tag-s-under-16s-social-media-ban-non-compliance","tag-18-the","tag-18-the-new-law","tag-a-benchmark","tag-a-certain-type","tag-a-major-catch","tag-a-problematic-reputation-it","tag-a-rollout","tag-access","tag-age-verification-laws-be","tag-all-devices","tag-apple","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-users","tag-aylo","tag-breach-the-company","tag-canadian-company","tag-child-sexual-abuse","tag-children","tag-data-privacy-apple","tag-days","tag-default-child-safety-features","tag-device","tag-digital-wallets","tag-effect","tag-efforts","tag-eight-months","tag-facial-age-estimation","tag-henry-brayshawthe-company","tag-her-small-and-intimate-wedding","tag-issues","tag-its-pages","tag-its-users","tag-justice","tag-laws","tag-legendary-2026-reader-survey-typeform-embedaustralia","tag-major-aussie-announcement","tag-major-social-media-platforms","tag-march","tag-march-9-these","tag-materials","tag-new-age-checks","tag-new-laws","tag-news","tag-non-consensual-content","tag-only-adults","tag-our-new-appannie-knight","tag-over-18s","tag-owners","tag-parent-company-aylo","tag-penalties","tag-phase-2","tag-photo-id-these-age-verification-methods","tag-place","tag-pornhub","tag-pornography-and-age-restricted-material","tag-protest","tag-safety-measures","tag-sex-trafficking-proceeds-additionally","tag-similar-action","tag-strict-age-verification","tag-the-age","tag-the-country","tag-the-details","tag-the-esafety-commissioner","tag-the-first","tag-the-government","tag-the-new-laws","tag-the-online-safety-codes","tag-the-site","tag-the-site-the-world","tag-the-uk-aylo","tag-the-united-kingdom-and-france","tag-the-us-department","tag-the-us-federal-trade-commission","tag-their-age","tag-up-to-49-5-million","tag-users","tag-websites","tag-wednesday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=920887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/920888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=920887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=920887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=920887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
