Nearly half of porn users bypass age checks, risking illegal content

What happened: New research reveals that almost 50% of pornography users have accessed adult sites without undergoing government-mandated age verification since the rules were introduced.

Why it matters:

  • This increases the risk of users, including minors, encountering illegal or harmful material.
  • It highlights challenges in enforcing online age restrictions and protecting vulnerable audiences.

MNN Take: Despite regulations requiring age checks on adult websites, many users find ways to avoid them, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current measures to control access to explicit content.
