Motherless.com is a well known porn tube site that seems to feature a more diverse selection of videos than most with a little more user/amateur content, than is the norm. The website is still operating and continues to allow open access. Ofcom writes
of its actions: Ofcom has launched two investigations into whether Kick Online Entertainment S.A has failed to comply with its duties under the UK's Online Safety Act. Duties under the Act Providers of
services in scope of the Act are required to assess the risk of people in the UK encountering illegal content on their service, and take appropriate steps to protect them from it. Providers are also required to respond to all
statutory information requests from Ofcom in an accurate, complete and timely way. On 3 March 2025, we opened an enforcement programme to monitor whether providers are complying with their duties under the Act to carry out an
illegal content risk assessment and keep appropriate records of their assessments. As part of this programme, we issued an information request to Kick Online Entertainment S.A, which is responsible for providing the pornography website Motherless.com. We
required it to submit the record of its illegal content risk assessment to us so we could consider whether it is compliant with its duties. Having received no response to our request, we have today launched investigations into
whether this provider has failed in its duties to complete and keep a record of a suitable and sufficient illegal content risk assessment and respond to a statutory information request. We have received complaints about the
potential for illegal content and activity on this site, including child sexual abuse material and extreme pornography. In light of this, we will also be considering whether the provider has put appropriate safety measures in place to protect its UK
users from illegal content and activity and may launch an additional investigation into its compliance with this duty if appropriate We will now gather and analyse evidence to determine whether a contravention has occurred. If our
assessment indicates a compliance failure, we will issue a provisional notice of contravention to the provider, who can then make representations on our findings, before we make our final decision. We will provide regular updates
as these investigations progress. |
