@Jamie727 Sky glass has parental controls that pin protect certain content, you can set this up within your Glass TV settings menu.

Hi, it's not related to parental controls. in the UK, as of this week, if accessing Say Porn videos, etc., you have to verify your age every time you go to a porn site with Sky Glass. There is no way to take a photo or to scan a valid photo ID, so you can't watch porn on Sky Glass lol

@Jamie727 Sky Glass has no browser so the age verification issue is irrelevant. All content you obtain through Sky Glass is the providers and already regulated by Ofcom.

What makes you think Sky Glass gives you access to the websites? And more importantly how?

@Jamie727

And Glass/Stream doesn't carry the Adult channels that are present on the satellite platforms, regulation of which is through long-standing broadcasting legislation rather than the Online Safety Act.

The Act itself places the onus to enable and enforce verification on the content provider (ie website owner), not the distribution platform or the manufacturer of the hardware being used for consumption.

So it's a firestick your referring to? In that case it really isn't a Sky or even Sky Glass related issue at all.
