Pornhub Returns to Australia; UK Police Fail to Investigate Image Abuse

Pornhub has resumed operations in Australia, now requiring users to verify their age through Apple devices to comply with new online safety laws. The site had previously blocked Australian access in March due to these regulations, which mandate age verification for adult websites or risk substantial fines.

Meanwhile, in England and Wales, a significant failure by police to investigate image-based abuse, formerly known as 'revenge porn,' has been highlighted by a super-complaint launched by lawyers. Research indicates that law enforcement agencies frequently dismiss or fail to recognize such offenses, despite their severity and previous declarations of them being a national emergency. This inaction leaves victims of non-consensual image sharing without adequate recourse.
