A representative of the company that owns Pornhub was on the news earlier and she said that visits to porn sites had plummeted.

She went on to say that they, as a company, always comply with the local jurisdiction of each country that they operate in and that, as a result of the OSA, people are:either no longer using porn sites, were using a VPN or are accessing porn sites abroard that don't comply with UK law. Though Ofcom are currently investigating such sites, she is concerned that, in the meantime, these sites may have inappropriate or illegal pornography available to view.

Finally, she said that they didn't have a problem with measures to protect children, but that the age verification system wasn't working because people were reluctant to provide personal details to a porn site that they didn't necessarily trust to keep their details secure or who could be hacked.

To deal with this she suggested that all phones should be sold without the ability to access adult sites, until the owner had proved that they were 18 or over.
