Five Porn Sites Add Age Checks After Arcom Notices, Avoid Immediate Blocking

The French regulator will review the new systems for conformity with its privacy-preserving standard, with sanctions possible for failures.

Overview

  • Xnxx, Xvideos, Xhamster, Xhamsterlive and Tnaflix implemented age-verification measures after Arcom’s August formal notices.
  • Arcom’s board decided not to launch blocking or de-referencing procedures against those platforms following the changes.
  • A sixth site, Tukif, reactivated its age-verification tool and was not placed under formal notice.
  • Arcom’s reference requires checks such as an ID or photo and at least one double-anonymity method, with some sites using AI analysis of a selfie video to confirm majority.
  • Major operator Aylo continues to reject the mandated system, with YouPorn and Pornhub remaining inaccessible by their own decision.
