Aylo, the operator behind major adult platforms including Pornhub, announced it is halting operations in France starting this Wednesday. The decision comes in response to a newly enforced French law requiring pornographic sites to implement enhanced age verification measures for their users.
An Aylo spokesperson described the legal requirements as posing a significant privacy risk, suggesting that age verification should be conducted at the device level rather than through invasive personal data collection.
Pornhub, the world’s most visited adult site, counts France as its second-largest market after the United States. The regulatory pressures facing Aylo and similar companies continue to grow globally, with the European Union now investigating whether platforms like Pornhub are sufficiently safeguarding minors.
Aylo has also withdrawn services from several U.S. states for similar reasons related to age verification mandates. In the UK, upcoming legislation will soon enforce stricter “age assurance” standards for all adult content providers.
The company, formerly known as Mindgeek and now owned by Canadian private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners, operates other well-known sites such as YouPorn and RedTube, which will likewise become inaccessible to French users.
Solomon Friedman, vice president of compliance at Aylo, criticized the French law as “dangerous,” “potentially privacy-infringing,” and “ineffective.” He argued that major tech companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft already have the capability to verify user age at the device or operating system level.
While Aylo supports the concept of age verification in principle, executives have expressed concerns over the collection of sensitive data, such as credit card information or government-issued IDs, as part of the verification process.
In response to the platform’s withdrawal, French Minister for Gender Equality Aurore Bergé commented “au revoir” on X, adding that the move would reduce minors’ exposure to “violent, degrading, and humiliating content” in France.

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam
At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.
Why This Matters Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.
Automatic Implementation Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:
· Blurs the website’s adult content · Camera access management · Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation · Instant verification results
Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.
For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.
Compliance Without the Complexity By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.
SkyPrivate Launches Lifetime 90% Referral Payout for Models
SkyPrivate is rolling out a major update that gives models a powerful new way to maximize their earnings: 90% lifetime payout on referred members.
With this new system, the models earn 90% on everything the new members they refer to SkyPrivate spend with them on the platform.
This includes tips, pay-per-minute calls, prepaid shows, and store purchases. And the models continue to earn 90% for as long as their referrals remain active on SkyPrivate.
To access the 90% referral payout rate, the models simply need to log in to their SkyPrivate accounts, navigate to “Promote” → “Get 90% Payout”, and copy their referral links.
They can then share their links wherever their fans follow them: socials, chat, anywhere. SkyPrivate’s referral update doesn’t change the models’ regular payout rates. Instead, it adds a new way for models to earn 90% on the referred members’ spending with them and boost their income.
“This update is designed to reward our models for bringing new active members to the platform,” said Dragos, chief commercial officer at SkyPrivate. “It’s simple, transparent, and gives our community of models an extra way to maximize their earnings… for life.”
The 90% lifetime payout enables SkyPrivate models to take charge of their referrals and turn their existing fan base across social media and other platforms into a steady stream of income.
It’s a competitive advantage for those looking to grow their presence and earnings on the platform.
