Pornhub, OnlyFans and Major Cams Platforms Confront Italy’s New Age-Check Rules
Italy has formally named 45 porn and porn-adjacent websites that must introduce stricter age verification from November 12, 2025, as the country becomes the latest to tighten access to adult content.
The Italian communications regulator AGCOM has published a list of services it classifies as providing pornographic material in Italy. The roster includes Aylo-owned platforms Pornhub, Redtube, and YouPorn, along with xHamster, camming site Chaturbate, and subscription giant OnlyFans, among others.
Under the new framework, all sites on the list will be required to verify that users connecting from Italy are 18 or older through certified third-party providers. These verification partners may include dedicated age-check services, banks, or mobile operators that already hold verified customer data. Crucially, the process is expected to be repeated each time a user visits one of the listed platforms, rather than operating as a one-time verification per site, as is the case in some other markets, such as the UK.
Italy’s legal basis for porn age verification came into force in May, but platforms were granted a grace period until November 12. Only now has the full list of affected services been disclosed, and it features many of the industry’s largest brands. The move comes as critics of age verification argue that strict regimes tend to push traffic away from the biggest, more heavily scrutinized platforms and toward smaller sites that may be less compliant or less transparent.
In the UK, where tougher age checks for porn access were introduced in July, Pornhub has claimed that traffic from the country fell by 77 percent after the new rules took effect. According to parent company Aylo, users are not abandoning adult content altogether but are instead gravitating toward platforms that have not yet implemented – or are not yet being forced to implement – comparable verification systems.
Subsequent traffic data has indicated that, as visits to major porn brands decreased, some smaller adult sites experienced a corresponding rise in UK user numbers. At the same time, the UK regulator Ofcom has opened investigations into a range of pornography services, including lesser-known sites it alleges are not complying with the updated rules.
In Italy, platforms that appear on AGCOM’s list and fail to adopt compliant age verification procedures by November 12 risk facing penalties of up to 250,000 euros (around 290,000 US dollars). Observers expect that the regulator will add more services to the list over time as enforcement develops and new sites are identified.
Italy is also one of five EU member states that have piloted an age verification application developed by the European Commission. The tool is intended to provide a privacy-preserving way to prove that a user is over 18, with potential future use in porn age verification systems across the bloc.

Stripchat Adds Viewer Mode for Live Streams and OBS Broadcasts
Stripchat has introduced Viewer Mode, a new feature that lets models see their live stream exactly as viewers see it in real time.
The update works for both direct site broadcasts and streams sent through external software such as OBS. This means models no longer need a second device or extra guesswork to check how their show appears to the audience.
With Viewer mode, performers can quickly review stream quality, spot technical issues and adjust their setup while staying live. They can switch between Camera mode, which shows their own broadcast view, and Viewer mode, which shows the stream from the viewer’s perspective.
To use the feature, models need to start their live stream, go to the bottom left corner of the camera window and click the Viewer mode icon showing a person and a screen.
The new tool gives Stripchat models more control over their broadcast quality, especially when using OBS, helping them fine-tune their performance and deliver a smoother experience for viewers.
