The UK media regulator, Ofcom, has announced that all pornography websites must implement robust age verification measures by July 2025. This requirement mandates that online services hosting pornographic content must verify users' ages through methods such as entering bank details, submitting photo identification, or using facial recognition technology. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the websites being blocked in the UK. The initiative aims to enhance online safety for minors by ensuring that only adult users can access such content.
