1. Adults only
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if higher, to use PornVerdict. Our websites, reviews and links are not directed at minors and must not be viewed by them. If you are under 18, please leave now. Every page carries an 18+ notice.
2. RTA label
PornVerdict is labelled with the RTA ("Restricted To Adults") label of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP). The label is a meta tag on every page (<meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA">) that parental control software, browsers and network filters can read to block the site automatically. Learn more at rtalabel.org.
3. What PornVerdict shows
PornVerdict publishes text reviews and rankings. We do not host pornographic videos or images. Preview screenshots of reviewed websites are reduced in size and censored so that no sexually explicit act or exposed genitals are visible. Pages may still contain sexual language and website names, and link to websites with explicit content. Those websites are responsible for their own age checks.
4. Age verification laws
Many countries and U.S. states now require websites that publish pornographic content to verify the age of their users. Because PornVerdict does not publish pornographic material, these laws generally apply to the websites we review rather than to us, but we follow them closely and may restrict access in a region where that is required or prudent.
- United States: more than twenty states, including Texas (H.B. 1181), Louisiana, Utah, Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Montana, North Carolina, Indiana, Idaho, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Dakota, Ohio, Missouri and Arizona, require age verification by commercial websites where more than a set share (often one third) of the material is "harmful to minors". The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Texas law in Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, 606 U.S. ___ (2025). Some reviewed websites block visitors from these states or require ID or third party age checks.
- United Kingdom: the Online Safety Act 2023 requires services that publish or allow pornographic content to use highly effective age assurance (Part 5 for provider published pornography and Part 3 for user to user and search services), enforced by Ofcom since July 2025.
- European Union: the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) requires online platforms to protect minors (Article 28), and the largest adult platforms are designated as very large online platforms with additional duties. National laws also apply, including France's law no. 2024-449 (SREN) and the Arcom age verification standard, and Germany's Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV), enforced by the KJM.
Visitors must respect the age verification rules of every website they visit and must not try to get around them.
5. Parental control tools
Commercially available tools can block adult websites, including PornVerdict, on your children's devices and your home network:
- Built into devices: Apple Screen Time (iPhone, iPad, Mac: Content & Privacy Restrictions, "Limit Adult Websites"), Google Family Link (Android, Chromebook), Microsoft Family Safety (Windows, Xbox).
- Search: Google SafeSearch and Bing SafeSearch, which can be locked on.
- Network and DNS filters: family filtering on your router or broadband provider (most UK providers offer it free), or family DNS services such as Cloudflare for Families (1.1.1.3), CleanBrowsing and OpenDNS FamilyShield.
- Filtering software: Qustodio, Net Nanny, Norton Family, Bark, Kaspersky Safe Kids and similar.
- Guidance: FTC: Protecting kids online, Internet Matters parental controls guides and the EU Better Internet for Kids portal.
Talk to your children about what they may see online. Never leave a device logged in to adult websites where children can use it.
6. Notice under 47 U.S.C. § 230(d)
Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 230(d), we notify you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is listed in section 5 above and on the websites linked there.
7. Reporting a minor or harmful content
If you believe a reviewed website shows anyone under 18, or does not take reasonable steps to keep minors out, report it through our Report & Content Removal page or to [email protected]. Child sexual abuse material should also be reported to the NCMEC CyberTipline or the Internet Watch Foundation.
