Pornhub shuts down Texas Access.

Not just Texas.

All of the sites in Aylo's network, including Pornhub, YouPorn, and Brazzers, are blocked in Texas, and also blocked or restricted in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Virginia and Utah, which have adopted similar laws.

Man that cock eyed fuck not have anything better to worry about?

No AMPs, no Studios, no fun on Harry Hines and now no PornHub. I'm gonna have to run for office. Make Debauchery Great Again. Originally Posted by TXHombre

They never said you cannot look at porn. Only that the sites have to verify you're not underage. How they do that is the question addressed by the law. Not your right to look at it.

Xhamster works.

Pornhub and others have decided to block off areas instead of complying with the law. It's thew choice of the site, not the state. My understanding is the how is in question, not the need to keep underage kids off the site.

As noted already, joining the site appears to be enough to satisfy the age verification. Funny how that works. It's free to join but I am sure that more members drives higher ad rates

So legitimately the big porn sites are blocking the states that are trying to implement ID verification to try to stop the states from having its residents get their data hacked, with a small pinch of trying to cover their own assess too.

States have come up with two ways for the porn sites to verify ID.

1) The porn sites are to store all users Drivers Licenses, name, address etc and verify it electronically with the state. Porn sites said fuck no, we’re not taking on that risk because if that gets leaked or they get hacked, instantly you get a database of “deviants” and have enough info to fuck them over. They don’t want to store that data so these states get blocked.

2) This one is similar, the states want the porn sites to tie into something like ID.me or another third party website. The porn sites went fuck no, why does a state want a third party to have a copy of all the drivers licenses etc of all the residents of the state on a private company system. It’s bad enough it’s on a government system but to have a second copy of it laying around? Nope.

The short version, porn sites know they are not impenetrable and don’t want to store critical data of its users and they don’t think residents of those states should be happy that the local government wants duplicate copies of your data laying around, ready to be stolen.

Create a free email account at Proton.me. It comes with a free VPN.

The Texas law is problematic for a couple of reasons.
1. Astronomical daily fines if you are found to be out of compliance
2. Texas wants Pornhub to collect and store sensitive identification information, which could open Pornhub up to significant liability if there is a security breach. Other states like Louisiana provides for the collection and storage of information for sites like Porn hub.

I'm sure all the porn sites have many ex-programmers and software engineers that used to work there that could hack in easily. They would have to develop and maintain cyber-security levels equal to a bank or lending institution which would be very expensive.
Texas and other Red states: Your government will decide what is right for you.

I pay $50 a year for express VPN. You can switch to any state/ country. Usually when you make the switch to another country there is a different selection of videos that pop up on the front page.
