Pornhub disables access to site in Texas in protest of age verification law, says law puts minors ‘at risk’

Pornhub, a subsidiary of Aylo, has now ceased access to the site in Texas after an age-verification law was passed. The company made a statement about disabling the adult content site on Thursday. 

The statement from the pornography company stated, "As you may know, your elected officials in Texas are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website. Not only does this impinge on the rights of adults to access protected speech, it fails strict scrutiny by employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas's stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors."
