    It has nothing to do with underage content. That’s against federal law. Do you have a source regarding PornHub’s lost content due to Texas legislation?

    The Texas law requires users to provide state-issued identification to access adult content. That requires adult websites to verify and retain user identity. PornHub responded to this legislation by blocking access from Texas, rather than complying with privacy-invading legislation.

      You misunderstand, the loss in content was a prior thing. It may have a different thing pushing that. My point being that porn hub is able to be accountable, or at least held accountable for their content. And they are pushed out of the market in these states, which leaves only the bad actors to make profit of the vacuum

      Teenagers still have unfettered access to porn, they have just been restricted from better curated and less exploitive porn.

        Gotcha. I was surprised to read that, since the Texas legislature was restricting access not content. It’s definitely already a federal crime.

        Let’s be honest, that law restricted older Texans the most. Teenagers know how to use VPNs. Lol
