Pornhub to Block Access in Five More States Over Age Verification Laws
New legislation requiring ID verification prompts Pornhub to cease operations in Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, and Nebraska.
- Pornhub will end operations in the five states by July 2024 due to new age verification laws.
- The laws mandate users to upload government IDs or use third-party verification to access adult content.
- Lawmakers argue the laws protect children, while Pornhub and privacy advocates warn of data security risks.
- Pornhub's parent company, Aylo, reports an 80% traffic drop in Louisiana after similar legislation.
- Critics claim users will turn to less regulated sites that bypass age verification, posing greater risks.
