Pornhub has disabled its site in Texas to object to a state law that requires the company to verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the site.

Texas residents who visit the site are met with a message from the company that criticizes the state’s elected officials who are requiring them to track the age of users.

The company said the newly passed law impinges on “the rights of adults to access protected speech” and fails to pass strict scrutiny by “employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors.”

    As a Texan, I’ve been using a VPN for about a decade now, so this doesn’t affect me in the slightest.

    EDIT: Please don’t take this to mean that I don’t believe this is, or should be, the norm. Our state government has overstepped its bounds many times over, and the quality of life in this state has done nothing but go downhill since the Repuglicunts came into power almost 30 years ago. I’ve done nothing but vote for anyone but the incumbent right-wing fascists since I was old enough to vote.
