The Regulations category unravels the intricate web of laws shaping the sextech landscape. We dissect landmark legislation like FOSTA-SESTA, exploring its far-reaching impact on online platforms and sex workers. Our coverage delves into the nuances of the UK’s Age Verification laws and their implications for adult content providers and consumers alike.

We examine the legal battles that define the industry, from LELO’s patent war with Standard Innovation to the ongoing struggles of companies like Dame Products to advertise on social media platforms. The category also shines a light on the regulatory challenges faced by emerging technologies, such as the legal status of sex robots in various jurisdictions and the data protection concerns surrounding AI-powered sex toys.

From the EU’s GDPR and its effects on user data in dating apps to California’s CCPA and its implications for adult content platforms, we analyze how privacy laws are reshaping the sextech industry. We also explore the complex world of sex work legislation, comparing approaches from the Nordic model to full decriminalization and their impacts on sextech innovation.

Our goal is to demystify the legal complexities surrounding sextech, providing readers with a clear understanding of how regulations influence product development, market access, and user experiences in this rapidly evolving field.
