英国通信管理局Ofcom于本周宣布对Pornhub启动调查,质疑该平台的年龄验证措施可能无法有效阻止未成年人访问1。根据Ofcom的检查发现,这家网站仍然可能被儿童访问1。Pornhub所有者为Aylo公司1。
该调查涉及《在线安全法》的合规性问题1。Pornhub曾因该法的规定而阻止英国新用户访问,随后通过采用苹果的设备级年龄验证流程重新开放平台1。然而Ofcom的评估表明,这套年龄检查机制的有效性存在不足。Ofcom的研究显示,8%的儿童尝试过访问色情网站1。
违反相关规定可能面临严重处罚1。Ofcom执法主任George Lusty表示:"在线年龄检查是防止儿童接触不适当或有害材料(包括色情内容)的重要保护"1。若Pornhub被判违法,可能被罚款1800万英镑或全球收入的10%,以较大者为准1。
Britain's communications watchdog Ofcom has launched an investigation into whether Pornhub complies with online safety regulations protecting children from accessing adult content.1 The platform previously blocked new users in the UK following the Online Safety Act but subsequently reopened access through Apple's device-level age verification system.1 However, Ofcom's checks suggest the site may still be accessible to minors despite these safeguards.1
The investigation centers on whether Pornhub's age verification mechanism is sufficiently effective at preventing children from reaching restricted material.1 According to Ofcom data, the proportion of children encountering robust age checks increased from 25 percent between July 2024 and January 2025 to 43 percent, while eight percent of children surveyed reported attempting to access pornographic websites.1 George Lusty, Ofcom's head of enforcement, stated that "online age checks are an important protection against children encountering inappropriate or harmful material, including pornography."1
The company, owned by Aylo, faces potential penalties of up to £18 million or ten percent of global revenue—whichever is greater—if found in violation of the Online Safety Act.1
