Pornhub’s parent company Aylo confirmed it will not restrict access to its websites in Ohio, despite a new age verification law that took effect on September 30.
Earlier this week, several media outlets incorrectly reported that Aylo planned to block users in the state. The confusion arose after reporters received the same official statement Aylo has used in the past when announcing site restrictions in states with similar legislation.
In its statement, Aylo emphasized that, as a provider of an “interactive computer service” under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, it does not fall under the requirements of Section 1349.10 of the Ohio Revised Code, which mandates age verification for such services.
“We have publicly supported age verification of users for years,” the company said. “However, we believe that any law to this effect must preserve user safety and privacy while effectively protecting children from accessing adult content.”
The company stressed that while it supports efforts to safeguard minors, it will continue to advocate for legislation that balances protection with privacy and security for users.
