Pornhub is blocking itself in the United Kingdom on February 2, arguing that the country’s age verification laws are ineffective, the company announced on Tuesday. As of February 2, only users who have already registered with Pornhub and completed age verification will be able to access the site. Pornhub said its traffic from UK users dropped 77 percent after the Online Safety Act kicked in. But in a presentation Tuesday, the company said many porn sites have not complied with the laws, rendering them useless. Despite this, the US remains the top traffic generator for the site, and age verification laws are easily circumvented by using a VPN that can block one’s location.
