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.”

    I’m with you, but I can’t imagine any other outcome than an increasingly large group of sexually-frustrated men taking this out on women / men / animals around them. Particularly as other porn sites follow suit.

    What’s worse, I imagine this is either by design or a very welcome byproduct. In other words, one step closer to y’all qaeda.

      The end goal is more babies. Unwanted, uneducated and poor babies. They’ll get there by any means possible.

      I can. VPN subscriptions up 60%, no measurable change in society.
