Pornhub Returns to Australia via Apple Age Verification
What happened
Pornhub, owned by Aylo, was previously blocked in Australia due to age-verification laws. Aylo had generally blocked access in regions where complying with such laws was too burdensome. However, Pornhub is now accessible to iOS users in Australia who have confirmed their age through Apple's local age-verification process.

Why it matters
The integration allows Aylo's content to bypass previous regional blocks by leveraging Apple's compliance framework. This demonstrates how technological integration can enable market access for content platforms despite regulatory requirements.
