Pornhub Exits France Over New Age Verification Law

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Aylo has also withdrawn services from several U.S. states for similar reasons related to age verification mandates.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.

“.CAM” Ranks Among the Top 3 TLDs for Live and Video

WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao — According to data from nTLDStats, with more than 150,000 registered domains, the “.CAM” extension ranks third among new TLDs associated with the adult industry, webcams, live content, and video. It notably ranks ahead of extensions such as .love, .chat, .video, .stream, and .webcam.


One of .cam’s key strengths lies in its simplicity and international appeal. Just three letters are enough to evoke cameras, webcams and, more broadly, the world of video. The term “cam” is widely recognized across many languages, allowing businesses, platforms, and creators to immediately connect their web address with their activity while benefiting from a short and memorable domain name.

Marco Forastieri, Marketing Director of .CAM, said: “.cam’s Top 3 position confirms the strong interest in this extension within the webcam, live, and video ecosystem. This level of adoption demonstrates the relevance of a short, international extension that is directly associated with the uses it represents.”

For Domain.cam, this momentum also highlights the potential of premium .cam domain names. These domains offer businesses, platforms, and creators the opportunity to build a strong, distinctive digital identity that is immediately recognizable on an international scale.

.cam is therefore establishing itself as one of the leading specialized TLDs in its ecosystem, driven by the growth of video, streaming, and live content.

Updated Community Guidelines: Clearer Guidance for Real Streaming Situations

We’ve updated the Community Guidelines to make them clearer, more transparent, and easier to use in everyday streaming situations.

We know it isn’t always easy to understand how a rule applies to a specific moment on camera. The updated Guidelines include clearer explanations and brand-new enforcement notes for relevant policy areas. These notes answer questions we hear most often.

Alongside these practical explanations, the update highlights a key principle behind moderation: context matters. We review the whole situation rather than isolated words, objects, or moments in a broadcast. A single unverified report does not trigger enforcement on its own.

Read the updated Community Guidelines to get a better sense of the platform’s boundaries and what to expect from moderation.

We’ve updated the Guidelines with your experience in mind. Tell us what you think in the community Discord and follow us on Telegram for quick platform news.
