With the age verification law coming into place next week, will this site change?

The lurkers, the guys that through no fault of their own can't do an age verification, or are too scared to? Will the people on line numbers drop? Currently Saturday lunchtime and 19404 people online.

Will profiles become inactive?

Less timewasters? More?

It will be interesting to see if the new law changes anything at all other than create more work for the site owners and us the users.

I never completed the link, but when it asked to check your account mine was already verified. So they must already have it up and running.

Would be good to have an age approved symbol or something? Or will the unapproved accounts just be suspended?

After app update the other day had to do the age verification thing. Simple process of video/image of your face. I must look old enough as was approved lol

I haven't had a notification about verifying my age, so I've no idea how to do this. Can anyone advise?

Go to Home page and scroll down to Age Assurance link.

You can check your status from there

Scroll right to the very bottom of the home page and the small print. It's not an icon but just very small text at the bottom. Mine was ok

It seem that if you have already been photo verified then you already pass the new rules.

Using the AI age detection method they have now brought to the site is extremely easy and quick. No reason why anyone cannot do it from their mobile in 2 minutes.

The age verification is now covered by the green flag symbol.

That's just not true.

Photo verification is a site specific feature.

Age verification is a new LAW.

You will need to do that separately.

Be interesting to see how many online tonight against next weekends number.

They won't be able to use the site if they log on

This is not correct.

"Most folks who are active/regular on the site will already have undertaken a recent action that conforms to a "highly effective" age assurance method as described by the regulator (for example, if you upgraded by text from an adult unlocked phone)."

Use a VPN for pornsites as it only applied in UK. As a test I logged into a welknown rodent site via Germany and no mention of age verification and the site url actually ended in .de so it was the German version

Part of me wants it to change. I’m addicted to sex even the ones I shouldn’t. It is like a drug. And it’s so easily available.

the methods we will be using from 25th July when this legislation goes into force.

These are all "highly effective" methods as described by OFCOM in their official guidance.

You can read ofcom's advice for consumers on this matter, here:

Well, in answer to my question, 18k people on line today around the same time, a little earlier than last week but take summer holidays into account, nothing has changed here.

Have an account with the porn site now, but that's all.

Happy fabbing everyone!
