Legal and Operational Policies The adult entertainment industry is navigating a complex and rapidly changing legal environment. A confluence of new age verification legislation, high-profile private lawsuits, a landmark FTC order against Aylo (formerly MindGeek), and evolving credit card processing rules has created an urgent need for all industry participants — from major platforms to independent creators — to completely overhaul their legal and operational policies.

The sections of the bill that relate to the adult entertainment industry — specifically the requirements for age verification, consent, and content removal — are scheduled to become effective on December 1, 2025.
