Over the last few years I have stated that age verification would kill the porn business. And I was correct.

Many said it would improve things.

The firms behind age verification businesses thought this would make them rich (perhaps it has). Some firms openly sponsored some porn firms who in turn seemed to promote age verification thought

If I remember one porn firm in the UK has a bike ride event with age verification firms sponsored on the clothes.

Age verification now has done what I said it would and that was to kill off porn. People do not want to upload id.

Indeed even firms who think they have age verification are now being told it is not good enough. Basically unless your system puts most of your customers off then the age verification is probably not good enough.

Forms are now getting fines. Admittedly many of these firms may be outside the UK and could ignore the fines. However the chance is that they may be blocked from the UK.

What a mess things are.

However as I said for years, the ones to make a profit from this mess are those who simply pirate the content.
