## Resource

Australia’s eSafety Commission is cracking down on adult websites trying to dodge new age verification laws by using VPNs. Since March, top sites must verify users are 18+—most now comply, with some shifting to subscription models. While the goal is to keep minors safe from harmful content, the Commission is watching for workarounds and expects sites to take reasonable steps to block them.
