Figures reported by BBC News show that popular pornography websites are seeing far fewer visitors from the UK since the country enforced mandatory age verification requirements for online platforms. XVideos also saw a 47 percent drop during the same period, while UK traffic to OnlyFans declined by 10 percent. Similarweb data also found that visits to some smaller and less well-regulated pornography sites had increased by comparison. Most of the age verification systems implemented by online platforms are easy to bypass using VPNs, however, which mask the user’s location using overseas IP addresses.
