A law passed last year requires Pornhub and other adult sites to verify users' ages.
A sign hangs at the Pornhub booth at the 2024 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo at Resorts World Las Vegas on January 24, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.Pornhub has disabled its site in Texas over its objections to a new law that requires the site to verify users’ age.
The message goes on to read that requiring this kind of age verification drives people to other websites with fewer safety measures in place. Last month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, sued Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo, to comply with the law, which was passed last year., “Texas has a right to protect its children from the detrimental effects of pornographic content. I look forward to holding any company accountable that violates our age verification laws intended to prevent minors from being exposed to harmful, obscene material on the internet.
“The age-verification requirement is rationally related to the government’s legitimate interest in preventing minors’ access to pornography,”In a statement to HuffPost, Paxton said that sites like Pornhub are “on the run” because of Texas’s new law.“We recently secured a major victory against PornHub and other sites that sought to block this law from taking effect,” Paxton said. “In Texas, companies cannot get away with showing porn to children. If they don’t want to comply, good riddance.
