Pornhub pulls out of Texas over state law forcing age verification of watchers

Pornhub pulled out of Texas yesterday, which marks the first time someone in Pornhub pulled out

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

Pornhub pulled out of the Lone Star State on Thursday.

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

“As you may know, your elected officials in Texas are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website,” the message reads in part. “Not only does this impinge on the rights of adults to access protected speech, it fails strict scrutiny by employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors.”

The creators of Pornhub are referring to Texas HB 1181, a bill that aims at “restricting access to sexual material harmful to minors on an Internet website,” according to the text.

Introduced at the beginning of 2023, the bill was passed in June and took effect in September 2023.

Lawmakers made it mandatory for pornographic websites to verify the age of consumers before allowing them to view sexually explicit content.

“Unfortunately, the Texas law for age verification is ineffective, haphazard and dangerous,” Pornhub said in their statement.
