Some videos are being removed for compliance purposes
I think the Online safety bill in the U.K. has been watered down a lot since its inception. I’m not sure age verification is even a part of it anymore. What was being mooted here though was that your age would be verified by a company online but your details would not be stored and they wouldn’t know what site you were seeking it for. For example, the same company could be doing this for online gambling sites so when asked to verify you, they wouldn’t know it was for porn.
The other option was that you would go into a store and buy an anonymous age verification card. It would cost something like £5.00 and the person behind the counter would verify that you were over 18 before selling you the card like they would if selling you alcohol. This card would have an anonymous code you would enter online and this would prove to the site that you were of age. In that case it’s all pretty anonymous except you actually have to go into a store and announce to the guy behind the counter that that you’re a big perv!
Actually it’s been watered back up again and age verification is back on the agenda. Seems like they will be enforcing the removal of illegal content first though so it will probably be years before they go after anyone for age verification. I think they’ve also said that a credit card payment is sufficient as age verification so paid sites like this should be fine.

Surprised it took them that long.

Good start for a different payment industry for porn. Fuck American theocracy.
petermc "illegal"
What the fuck is happening.
thatoculusdude I mean actual illegal stuff like underage porn, stuff inciting terrorism, actual harmful stuff. The internet safety bill isn’t just about porn.
It will probably be a little bit before they start going after legit porn sites who just haven’t put age verification in place.

"It's a very simple 80/20 split business model."
You DON'T SAY! 
Where have I heard of THAT rule before.
The thing that has made this industry thrive in the first place.
The truth spoken straight from the horse's mouth (No insult intended. That's a figure of speech).
"Sex robots will never be a marketable product. The poor can't afford them. And the rich don't need them."

LordCrash We had this talk before and it does not seem like you care to look into the actual laws. While there is a lot of fear mongering, we're actually living in one of the most sexually liberal eras ever. Of course, if you do not agree and really think current payment solutions for adult is broken beyond repair, perhaps instead of posting here, you may wish to raise some venture funding and create your own global processing network?

I have no idea what you're talking about. I said nothing about laws. If you mean the term "theocracy" I apply that to Amercian society and not only the government. Society forms the government, not the other way round.

I'm not making money in this industry and I don't work in this industry, I'm only a customer giving feedback. Either take it or leave it but don't act like the customers were responsible for problems at the company or that the customers should fix things the company is there to fix, that's pathetic and completely unprofessional.

Since I have lived in america my whole life then I think I can talk about it's history and society today and not keep pointing out all of the great thinks germany's society has done.
America has a long history since the beginning with Europeans that were persecuted for the religion getting on a boat coming over here. Because of that we still have lingering religion everywhere. More in the countryside than in the city's I'm an atheist and hate it. If you would like to come over here and tell all these religious people they are wrong and to stop believing it, that would be great. I have been trying my whole life.
The problem is even if you don't believe it, America is still pretty free. So all the religious people get just as much say as everybody else. They are organized and loud even if they are not a majority. So if you are a credit card company and 40% of people scream at you to stop something. Then you do it rather you want to or not. The other 60% don't scream for porn rights.
I hate religion but blaming america for all the problems sounds a little jealous. Why doesn't Germany or France or some other country make the biggest credit card companies in the world. Then us Americans can blame you guys for something we don't like for a change. I'm sure your society is perfect and has it all figured out.

Good question. There should definitely be a European credit card company.

I don't know what you mean by "all the problems". We only talk about one specific problem here.

Haha, far from it... 
I'm trying to post a pic. Please tell me this isn't what I think it is:

XHamster has been ordered to delete all amateur videos where they do not have documented consent, or face fines of up to 1700 EUR, per video.
They also have to pay legal fees to EOKM. They have three weeks to comply. https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/#!/details?id=ECLI:NL:RBAMS:2023:2192
doublevr no one would have any issue with that. Stopping stuff like revenge porn, upskirting etc. All porn should have the performers signing off on the scene, that’s absolutely correct.
That’s real life consent which is totally different to what we’re talking about which is fictional consent in the scene storyline itself. Not that I’m advocating for CNC scenes, absolutely not, but having someone, who is clearly about to have sex with you anyway, sip a glass of (probably fake alcohol free) champagne or even just having a glass on the table is not CNC. That’s taking it to an almost absurd extreme.
Also some few adult friendly electronic banks do stop operating recently.
Doing compliance right is the key

doublevr It''s pretty wild but I've never considered how who a porn company does banking with could affect the types of porn available to me but it makes sense after hearing baout how challenging banks relaitonship with adult content is in general.
i know only fans has had me delete a cartoon sexy pic in the avatar or profile....they are extremely vigilant
