About this episode
Traffic to Pornhub in the UK has dropped by 47% since new age verification laws were enforced.
It’s all because of the UK's Online Safety Act, which requires adult sites to check the age of all UK users.
So how are they doing that? Today we're breaking down what these new laws involve and their immediate impact on online behaviour.
Hosts: Billi FitzSimons and Emma Gillespie
Producer: Orla Maher
