Pornhub

Pornhub has restored access for Australian users after previously blocking the country in response to age verification rules. The site had cut off Australian visitors over requirements to verify users' ages, part of broader child safety measures. The return follows changes affecting Apple devices and the implementation of age verification, and the move is drawing attention to how adult platforms comply with Australia's online safety regulations.

Pornhub has resumed service in Australia after blocking local users when the country's age verification rules came into force. The site cut access rather than comply with requirements to verify users' ages, and has now returned following changes involving Apple that let it meet the rules. The standoff has reignited debate over Australia's online safety laws, child protection measures and privacy concerns around identity verification for adult content.
