Pornhub’s parent company Aylo’s argument
Porn Hub’s parent company Aylo argues that device-level verification is more effective. The company said in favor of its decision that the best way to make the Internet safe, maintain user privacy, and prevent children from accessing adult content is to have age verification on the device.
Porn Hub‘s parent company Aylo said similar laws in other states have pushed users to riskier options. Pornhub’s traffic dropped by 80 percent after Louisiana implemented ID verification. Aylo said these people didn’t stop watching porn. They just moved to dark corners of the internet, where users aren’t asked to age verify, who don’t follow the law, who don’t take user security seriously, and who often don’t even moderate content.
