The Montreal-based company that owns Pornhub will not face charges over links to a sex trafficking operation but has agreed to pay $1.8 million to the US government and make payments to victims, officials said Thursday.
'Services which host their own pornography must start to introduce age checks immediately, while other user-to-user services - including social media - which allow pornography and certain other types of content harmful to children will have to follow suit by July at the latest.
While the big tech companies had user numbers exceeding the 45-million threshold needed to be designated as very large online platforms (VLOP), Canada-based Pornhub said it had 33 million average monthly users as of July 31, falling below the required level.
"It is our hope that this resolution, which includes certain agreed payments to the women whose images were posted on the company's platforms and an independent monitorship, brings some measure of closure to those negatively affected," Peace added.

The move by Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne marks the second time in a year he has expressed concern about Montreal-based Aylo Holdings. In February 2024, he said it broke privacy laws by allowing the sharing of intimate images without the direct knowledge or permission of everyone depicted.
GDP's operators were indicted in California in 2019 on sex trafficking charges which included allegations that they deceived and coerced young women into appearing in sex videos which were then posted online without their consent.

OTTAWA, March 3 (Reuters) - Canada's privacy watchdog said on Monday he was seeking a court order against the operator of Pornhub.com and other adult entertainment websites to ensure it obtained the consent of people whose images were featured.
"This deferred prosecution agreement holds the parent company of Pornhub.com accountable for its role in hosting videos and accepting payments from criminal actors who coerced young women into engaging in sexual acts on videos that were posted without their consent," US Attorney Breon Peace said.
Under the agreement, an independent monitor will be appointed for a period of three years to ensure compliance with the terms of the deal and Aylo will make a $1.8 million payment to the United States, it said.
In February 2024, Aylo said the incident that prompted the woman to complain had occurred in 2015 and since then the firm has taken several steps to keep illegal material off the site. (Reporting by David Ljunggren; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
