Australian adults will be able to access Pornhub once again after the site brought in age-checking on Apple devices in response to legal requirements that initially saw the site block users.

In March, Aylo, the parent company of the most popular porn site on the internet, blocked Australian users after online safety codes required adult websites verify users as being 18 or older or face potential fines of $49.5m.
