Pornhub Blocks Access in Texas Over Age Verification Law
The move sparks a surge in VPN searches as Texans seek ways around the new restrictions.
- Pornhub has blocked access to its site in Texas in response to a new age verification law, marking the seventh state where the platform has restricted access.
- The law requires adult content websites to verify the ages of viewers, aiming to protect minors but raising concerns over privacy and free expression.
- Searches for VPNs in Texas surged following Pornhub's decision, indicating residents are seeking ways to circumvent the access restrictions.
- Other states with similar age verification laws include Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia, but Louisiana has a different, less invasive verification system.
- Pornhub argues for a device-based age verification system as a more effective and privacy-conscious solution.
