Texas AG Sues Pornhub's Parent Company Over Age Verification
The lawsuit seeks to enforce state law requiring porn sites to verify users' ages to protect minors from accessing explicit content.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Pornhub's parent company, Aylo Global Entertainment, for failing to implement age verification measures as required by state law.
- The lawsuit alleges that Aylo's websites do not comply with House Bill 1181, which mandates reasonable age verification to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content.
- A federal judge initially struck down the law, but an appeal allowed the attorney general's office to enforce it, imposing fines up to $10,000 a day for noncompliance.
- Critics argue that requiring government-issued ID for age verification on porn sites could lead to privacy concerns and data mining.
- Several states, including Texas, have pushed forward legislation aimed at cracking down on minors' access to porn, with similar laws in place in Louisiana, Virginia, Mississippi, and Utah.
