Pornhub is accessible again in Australia after being blocked in March over age verification requirements. The site’s parent company, Aylo, says Australian adults can now access Pornhub if they use Apple devices that meet the required age-checking process.
The outlets report that access was removed when Australia’s online safety rules required adult websites to verify users are 18 or older or risk significant penalties. Aylo responded by introducing age verification on Apple iPhone and iPad devices, which it describes as among the hardest age checks to bypass.
Several sources note that restoration is not universal: access is limited to users who can be verified through Apple’s system. The reporting aligns on the timeline—block in March, return after months—and on the central issue of compliance with Australia’s adult content age verification obligations, with details varying mainly in emphasis on Apple-specific implementation versus the earlier nationwide ban.
