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.”

    Texas loves to use words like “freedom” and “liberty”, and make them synonomus with their values. Then they pass legislation to force women to give birth, and they ban porn.

    Like… “y’all” really are fucking stupid down there (at least the conservatives.)

      I refuse to drive through Texas and I do not do layovers in Texas on the grounds that their supreme court supports road side cavity searches by law enforcement. Nothing Texas for me.

      That’s why they say “Don’t make fun of Texas, it’s not nice to pick on retards.”
