We are investigating whether Trendio Ltd has failed, or is failing, to comply with its duties under the Online Safety Act 2023 to prevent children from encountering pornographic content on its service through the use of highly effective age assurance.
Section 12 of the Online Safety Act 2023
On 19 November 2025, we closed our investigation into Trendio Ltd in relation to the adult sites www.theyarehuge.com, www.tranny.one, www. ah-me.com, www. ashemale.one, www. bdsm.one, www.bemyhole.com, www.gaygo.tv, www.gayxo.com, www.shemale.pub, www.sunporno.com, and www.yesvids.com.
We opened an investigation due to concerns that Trendio Ltd had not implemented highly effective age assurance measures to prevent children from encountering pornographic content, as required under section 12 of Part 3 of the Online Safety Act 2023 (the Act), by the deadline of 25 July 2025.
In response to our investigation, Trendio Ltd provided information indicating that the provider had taken steps in good faith towards compliance by the deadline.
As such, Ofcom does not consider it appropriate to continue the investigation. We have closed our investigation without making any findings as to Trendio Ltd’s compliance with its duties, either currently or prior to its confirmation that it had taken steps to comply with the Act.
Trendio Ltd remains subject to obligations under the Act and Ofcom will continue to monitor its services. Should new concerns arise, Ofcom’s Enforcement team may revisit this decision.
On 16 January 2025, Ofcom opened an enforcement programme under the Online Safety Act (‘the Act’) to monitor compliance with regulated services’ duties to implement highly effective age assurance to prevent children from encountering pornographic content.
The programme initially focused on the duties of Part 5 services – those that publish or display their own pornographic content - to implement highly effective age assurance in accordance with section 81 of the Act. These duties have applied since 17 January 2025. The enforcement programme was expanded on 25 July 2025 to include Part 3 services – those that allow users to upload or generate their own pornographic content.
On 30 July 2025, under this expanded enforcement programme, we have opened an investigation into Trendio Ltd in relation to the adult sites www.theyarehuge.com, www.tranny.one, www. ah-me.com, www. ashemale.one, www. bdsm.one, www.bemyhole.com, www. gaygo.tv, www.gayxo.com, www. shemale.pub, www.sunporno.com, and www.yesvids.com.
Ofcom’s investigation will examine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that the provider has failed, or is failing, to comply with its duties under section 12 of the Act, which requires services to prevent children from encountering pornographic content through the use of highly effective age assurance.
Ofcom’s Online Safety Enforcement Guidance sets out how Ofcom will normally approach enforcement under the Act. This includes our approach to information gathering and analysis and the procedural steps we must take to fairly determine the outcome of the investigation.
We will provide an update on the investigation in due course.
