One of the largest adult sites in the world has
announced it is disabling access in Texas.
Following a recent ruling by a federal judge.
The site, Pornhub, released a letter earlier today slamming Texas
lawmakers for requiring the site to verify the age of
its users.
They argue the age verification measure is ineffective,
but they say site access will be restricted in Texas
until a real solution is offered.
Last year, Governor Abbott signed House Bill 1181 into law
banning minors from viewing explicit content online.
Acquiring sites including Pornhub to have users verify their age.
Following a lawsuit by a free speech coalition,
a lower court issued an injunction.
But last week, a federal judge sided with Texas,
saying the state has the right to enforce the law
to protect minors and that the law does not violate
First Amendment rights.
