The UK's media regulator says a porn company it fined £1m for failing to comply with the Online Safety Act has started to include more robust age checks on some of its websites.
On 4 December Ofcom announced the £1m fine of AVS Group Ltd, which runs a number of pornographic websites, for not having good enough age verification methods.
An Ofcom spokesperson said since the decision, AVS has implemented an "age assurance method on certain websites" that is "capable of being highly effective at correctly determining whether or not a user is a child".
It added the group could still incur fines of £1,000 per day, until the body was "satisfied" with the changes it made across all of its platforms.
Ofcom had also fined AVS an extra £50,000 for not responding to its emails since its investigation began in July.
