Porn has taken a hit in the UK in the wake of the introduction of compulsory age verification this year, according to communications regulator Ofcom.
VPN usage more than doubled, while porn viewership plummeted following the enforcement of age checks, per Ofcom’s Online Nation report, released Wednesday.
Prior to July 25, when age verification became mandatory in the UK, VPNs had around 650K daily users. By mid-August, 1.5 million users were accessing VPNs, and by November that number had declined to 900K.
