After the 2012 ish campaign by the UK governments ATVOD Agency essentially making it impossible for any UK porn company to exist in the UK, most companies either closed or moved into mainland Europe.

The few that did stay in the UK partnered with companies mostly in the United States and used them to run the parts of their company that the UK government deemed "bad". For instance, carried on producing & moved their web operations offshore. Affiliates were fucked full-stop... Leave the country or close shop. Same for cam models....

I think it was last year that new laws made it even worse, essentially banning the filming of a long list of sexual acts in pornography. Again, more companies left.

I am not sure there are many UK porn companies left at all. I can think of only a handful.

Most moved to Prague/Barcelona ect....

As for porn in the rest of Europe, or at least when it comes to the EU member states I don't see anything happening as extreme as the UK. Porn companies are safe to operate within the reasonable and non-totalitarian laws unlike what companies are experiencing in the United Kingdom.

If the UK does leave the EU, I do think we will see some very extreme censorship happening in that country.

I personally think the USA is still the best place in the world to operate an adult company. The constitution sure is a blessing!
