Texans can no longer access adult content website Pornhub.
The site pulled out of Texas on Thursday, less than a week after an appeals court ruled that Texas can enforce a law that requires age-verification systems on porn websites.
Users trying to access any of Aylo’s networks, which include Pornhub, YouPorn, and Brazzers, are reportedly receiving messages that inform them that those sites are no longer available due to the new law, which the company called “ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous.”
“Not only will it not actually protect children, but it will also inevitably reduce content creators’ ability to post and distribute legal adult content and directly impact their ability to share the artistic messages they want to convey with it,” the message reads.
This story is breaking and will be updated with more information.
