The position of the ownership of Pornhub
Aylo does not only manage the Pornhub brand. In his wallet he also has Other pornography sites Like YouPorn and Redtube. Solomon Friedmanamong the founders of the company that purchased Aylo, the company explained now: “He is communicating directly with the French to tell them how dangerous, how much it is potentially harmful to privacy and how ineffective the French law is”.
The laws for a real identity verification are increasingly widespread. Accidents like the one we are witnessing in France have already recorded in the United States. The position of Friedman and the company, however, is clear, as he had also explained to Fanpage.it in an interview.
Aylo prefers verification methods linked directly to the device with which you access the pornographic site. A verification requested by the portal risks only to flow the traffic towards forums, telegram groups and other more hidden pornography collectors.
