Ofcom notes the following sites which are all still available in the UK without ID/age verification:
It seems likely that these fines will be simply ignored. A recent question in the House of Lords suggest that only one Ofcom fine has actually been paid so far.
Also the websites have been transferred from 8579 LLC to Reply Buzzer Ltd. Maybe
this is somehow connected to the Ofcom censorship efforts.
Ofcom has determined that 8579 LLC failed to comply with section 12 of the Act, and this failure is ongoing in relation to one of the
services it operates. Section 12 imposes a duty on providers of Part 3 services that allow pornographic content, and that are likely to be accessed by children, to ensure that children are prevented from encountering pornographic content through the use
of highly effective age assurance.
From 25 July 2025 until at least 19 November 2025, 8579 LLC failed to implement highly effective age assurance on its services crazyporn.xxx, hoes.tube, and love4porn.com. For justpornflix.com,
this failure is ongoing.
The scope of our investigation originally also included the services 4kporn.xxx and 429.xxx. However, following a possible change in provider prior to Ofcom issuing its Provisional Decision 203 from 8579
LLC to Reply Buzzer Ltd - we have not made findings in relation to either site in our final decision.
We are imposing a penalty on 8579 LLC of £1,350,000 in respect of the contravention of section 12.
In
addition, 8579 LLC is now required to comply with section 12 by taking steps to implement highly effective age assurance on justpornflix.com, of which it is still the provider, by 5pm GMT on 23 February 2026.
Should 8579 LLC fail
to comply with this requirement, a daily rate penalty of £1,000 per day will be imposed starting from 23 February 2026 until the section 12 duty is complied with, or 3 June 2026, whichever is sooner.
Ofcom has also determined that
8579 LLC has failed to comply with section 102(8) of the Act by failing to respond to a statutory request for information, issued as part of the investigation, within the specified time frame. We are imposing a penalty on 8579 LLC of £50,000 in respect
of the contravention of section 102(8).
In addition, 8579 LLC is now required to take immediate steps to provide Ofcom with a complete list of all sites operated by 8579 LLC.
Should 8579 LLC fail to comply
with this requirement, a daily rate penalty of £250 per day will be imposed starting from 21 February 2026 until the section 102(8) duty is complied with or 22 April 2026, whichever is sooner.
A little earlier Ofcom also notionally fined Kick Online Entertainment S.A a total of £830,000 for its motherless.com porn tube website. Ofcom writes:
From 25 July until 29 December 2025, Kick Online failed to
implement highly effective age assurance on its service, motherless.com. After Ofcom issued a Provisional Decision to Kick Online, it implemented a method of age assurance that is capable of being highly effective.
We are imposing
a penalty on Kick Online of £800,000 in respect of its contravention of section 12 (lack of ID/age verification). We are imposing a penalty on Kick Online of £30,000 in respect of the contravention of section 102(8) (failure to provide information
demanded by Ofcom).
In addition, Kick Online is now required to take immediate steps to provide Ofcom with a complete list of all pornographic sites that it operates.
Should Kick Online fail to comply with
this requirement, a daily rate penalty of £200 will be imposed starting from 12 February 2026 until the section 102(8) duty is complied with or 13 April 2026, whichever is sooner.
