Pornhub Blocks Access in Montana Ahead of New Age Verification Law
The adult content giant argues that the law, which requires users to verify their age each time they visit the site, could put children and user privacy at risk.
- Pornhub, one of the world's largest adult content platforms, has blocked access to its site in Montana ahead of a new state law requiring age verification for explicit content websites.
- The law, SB 544, mandates that sites with explicit content verify the age of their visitors, aiming to protect minors from exposure to harmful material.
- Pornhub argues that the requirement to present an ID card each time a user visits an adult platform is not the most effective solution and could put children and user privacy at risk.
- Other states, including Utah and Virginia, have passed similar legislation, leading Pornhub to also block access in those states.
- Despite the controversy, more states, such as Tennessee, are considering similar legislation.
