The War on Porn Regular Updates about the Assault on The Adult Industry

Adult Attorney Corey Silverstein talks about how to stay legally protected as an adult website owner. Here’s a summary of the article:
It feels like the adult industry just hit a hard reset. Age verification laws are no longer theoretical — they’re real, enforced, and expensive to ignore. And because every region wants something slightly different, the once-standard “one policy fits everywhere” approach is basically dead. If a site can’t explain exactly how it keeps minors out, it’s already behind.
At the same time, regulators and payment processors are demanding proof that every bit of content is consensual and monitored. The Aylo case didn’t accuse anyone of new wrongdoing, but it sent a clear message: it’s not enough to say you have safeguards — you need documentation, systems, records, and the ability to show them working. Old blanket model releases aren’t enough anymore. Consent now has to be specific, traceable, and ongoing.
And hanging over all of this is data privacy — the silent one that can shut a company down overnight. GDPR and CPRA require clear deletion rights, consent controls, and minimal data collection. Most adult sites still haven’t updated. The takeaway is simple: the old shortcuts are now risks. The companies that survive will be the ones who update before they’re forced to — not after.
