    Didnt pornhub block Texas because they wanted age verification? Like theyre very publically against it.

    I think pornhub has some explainIng to do. A lot of explaining to do

      That is a separate issue. The Age verification law is for viewers. PornHub doesn’t want to store, or be responsible for, your Driver’s License info.

      I happen to side with PornHub on this one. It’s a privacy issue, and the age verification is just an initial step in the direction of censorship.

      Now verifying identity/ages of the performers, supporting the fight against sex trafficking and the predation of minors, that is worth putting restrictions on PornHub.

      I think you’re thinking of users’ ages not posters’ age. They don’t verify the age of people watching videos and they are publicly against that. I don’t know how they feel about validating the age of people in videos.

        They realized it would get their asses handed to them a while back. They at least supposedly have some sort of verification system now and they’ve cut out a lot of videos because of their new verification requirements.
