Overview
- Aylo said it will restore Pornhub's full adult experience in Australia for users who have completed Apple's local age‑verification on iPhones and iPads.
- The change covers only Apple mobile devices; Android phones and desktop visitors remain served a limited site or blocked.
- Apple's verification asks for a passport, driver's licence or a credit card to confirm a user is over 18 and auto-enables child-safety settings for unverified devices.
- Australia's eSafety regulator has not formally approved Aylo's method and says services must show any age checks are fair, accurate, robust and comply with privacy law.
- The move revives a long-running debate over device‑level versus site‑level age checks, raises questions about how Aylo proves a visitor passed Apple's check, and could shift pressure onto Google and Microsoft to offer similar device controls while affecting sex workers who lost income after the March restrictions.
