The days of porn users ticking a box to say they are 18 are meant to be over.
From Friday, websites operating in the UK with pornographic content must ”robustly” age-check users.
Adults wanting to access explicit material should experience a significant change in how they use the internet – while websites that ignore the new laws could be fined up to £18m, or 10% of worldwide revenue.
Ofcom, which estimates about 14 million people watch online pornography in the UK, says tougher age checks will make it harder for children to stumble across harmful material online.
