It has already begun - age verification laws
 

It has already begun... farewell, adult industry
many sites use FHG to grab content and host it on their own site... whether it's photos or videos.

There really isn't any option for them. It sucks but there is no way to get around these new laws.

Of course there is, use a service like agechecker.net and just increase membership costs.. problem solved.

There’s always a way 👍 maybe some innovation.

all galleries are still online

I think ultimately this is the way things are going, at least in the short-term. We were told that these laws would be hitting hard in 2025, and they definitely are.

I'm currently integrating AVS into a variety of client sites, and into my own product, LoginBlue.

The thing people need to look out for, is whether they can trust the third-party AVS they choose. So far, I've had some very interesting conversations with a variety of potential partners, and some of those conversations definitely suggest that depending on who you choose, the legal risk isn't entirely mitigated.

Keep it positive . . . but if anyone wants out, see signature.

They need age verification on Snapchat and other mainstream apps; because that would
weed out the creeps who pose as young people.

:2 cents:

Age verification on FHGs? At $0.50 per "verified check" they'd lose a shit ton of money

You took the words out of my mouth :thumbsup

You do it once and ‘share’ the internal DB across multiple domains that are owned by your company…

Others obviously know what this means but a quick google didn't reveal the answer so I'll ask the question - "FHG"?

Have Visa/Mastercard changed their rules on adult verification? The processors will then have to align and then their clients in turn also.

free hosted galleries, produced by sponsors for affiliates to use in promo

Okay so what's stopping people from making galleries and tube videos of the clothed parts of the scenes?

You wanna see nudes or hardcore... ya gotta pay!

this :thumbsup

Got it ty!

Why remove? Couldn't they just block/redirect/blur them for countries where AV is required? I noticed some programs do it.

They probably also make them no money at all.

Blocked France for all access to any of our sites, liablility if someone from France uses VPN to access, SEO ? Time will tell ...

19 Us states and France.
I know people simply blocking these states/country's..

Actually they postpone the issue and eventually the whole usa will probably have it.

so one of the main porn assets blocked is the UK...

not good :(

I guess it might not be too long before sponsors are telling affiliates they can only promote them with SFW material, unless the affiliate has their own age verification in place.

I was reading the other day that Google are testing their own facial recognition system for age verification. I wonder if that might be a solution - you could just log in to adult sites with your Google account, just as you can with many mainstream sites now, and it does the verification for you? However, perhaps the - wording of many of these adult verification laws already precludes it.

After looking at the site there are two problems

1) https://agechecker.net doesn't seem to work with industry companies like Netbilling or CCBill etc.

2) there are a few ways but facial recognition using your webcam is not there. Saves from pulling out your ID

The funniest part is, we didn't even get to the porn part yet and this is all already going down.

Buckle up, it's going to be a wild 4 years of getting exactly what we voted for. Leopards will be feasting on faces.

They are back to blaming porn for everything...

And we all know who that guy got caught being funded by 🤣

Nothing to see here folks, just grab your crucifixes and pray as we continue to divide ourselves to be easily and conveniently conquered by others ✝️

This is the answer. Make all FHGs pg13 and you might see people joining if they have to join to see the goods. But then again with all the tube content out there, it's still hard to get people ever to pay again.

When I started in the industry in 2001 I ran free non nude TGPs and promoted NN and softcore websites. I made a killing promoting sites like Lightspeed girls with only non nude photos. I wish we could go back to pre 2006 when tubes took over.

:pimp:pimp:pimp

Host offshore in some third world shithole.

As far as affiliates residing outside of US states or countries like the UK and France already with draconian age verification rules, none of this will really impact conversions will it (until the place you live brings in the same rules and you have to implement age verification on your site)?

I mean, anybody thinking of purchasing a porn membership must surely know how to use a VPN. Pornhub blocking a particular site or country is essentially saying 'use a VPN'.

Is there any indication that the raft of age verification laws thus far have impacted porn sales, or even traffic?

Says the scammer

Might want to back up your claims with proof as per the rules

Canadian cuck, I have already

Everything in project 2025 is great except the porn part. The porn part is the only thing in there with case law and 1a protected. I’d love to see them take down tube sites
