MindGeek became involved in the policy-making process for age verification for pornographic websites introduced in the Digital Economy Act 2017. They attended several meetings with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport as outlined below during the passage of the Bill in Parliament.
MindGeek owns and operates many popular pornographic websites, including video sharing services Pornhub, RedTube, and YouPorn, as well as adult film producers Brazzers, Digital Playground, Men.com, Reality Kings, and Sean Cody, among others.
In their proposed solution MindGeek pointed out that Sky is currently blocking 4,653,074 pornographic web pages. To improve the effectiveness of the age-verification policy, their representative suggested that these websites should be greylisted.
The approach advocated by MindGeek directly encourages blocking of pornographic sites that do not employ age verification.
Facebook yesterday announced its policy on sexual solicitation. Which is ludicrously overzealous, bans the discussion of anything related to sex, including incredibly vague language like “I’m looking for a good time tonight"
