🇬🇧 UK PORN SITES TO DEMAND ID - OR BLOCK YOU ENTIRELY

Starting tomorrow, anyone in the UK trying to access adult content online will hit a digital checkpoint: no ID, no entry.

Under the new Online Safety Act, sites like Pornhub, Reddit, even Grindr must verify users are 18+ (via credit card, photo ID, or third-party age check services).
 
Just clicking “I’m over 18” won’t cut it anymore.

Fail to comply? Fines up to £18M or XX% of global revenue. 

Some sites may just block UK users entirely.

Privacy concerns are already stacking up. 

Who’s collecting your data... and how safe is it, really?
