# Ofcom investigates Pornhub's protections against underage access

_Published Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 8:07 AM EDT · Policy, Products · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

Britain's media regulator Ofcom has opened an investigation into whether Pornhub owner Aylo meets requirements to prevent under-18s from accessing pornography, Reuters reported. The inquiry puts the platform's age-access measures under regulatory examination. It concerns possible noncompliance; the opening of an investigation does not establish that Aylo violated the requirements.
