The second-most visited pornography website in the world is no longer available to Texans.

The Canadian-owned pornography website now shows a lengthy message when consumers log onto their website.

“Unfortunately, the Texas law for age verification is ineffective, haphazard and dangerous,” Pornhub said in their statement.An injunction filed against the State of Texas stopped enforcement of the law. However, last Friday, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that aPornHub has now disabled its website in Texas. Sites like PornHub are on the run because Texas has a law that aims to prevent them from showing harmful, obscene material to children.

“As we’ve seen in other states, such bills have failed to protect minors, by driving users from those few websites which comply, to the thousands of websites, with far fewer safety measures in place, which do not comply,” Pornhub said in their statement. ‘It’s not worth it’: Fans mourn TikTok fitness influencers reportedly killed in high speed, car crash in Houston“I think because the website is the one delivering type of content, they really need to be on top of making sure that only people of age can access it,” Michelle Mayer said while weighing in on the topic. “If you want to use a website, then give that information. If not, then, don’t use the website.

“We will continue to fight for our industry and the performers that legally earn a living, and we will continue to appeal through all available judicial recourse to recognize that this law is unconstitutional,” Kekesi said.As you may know, your elected officials in Texas are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website.
