P*rnhub BANNED in Texas
The company won't comply with age verification. Bye bye!
It’s not often we get huge wins like this in Texas. But after Super Tuesday’s massive W’s and now this, we gotta say we’re feeling pretty white-pilled.
Today Pornhub announced that they would not be complying with the age-verification laws set in place in Texas so they’ve effectively banned anyone in Texas from accessing the site.
They whine about the law above. Frankly we do agree with supporting device-based age verification like they have in Arizona. But we also are happy to see this site go bye-bye and further protect children accessing pornographic materials.
Current Revolt called for the creation of this law just last year.
As we pointed out, Pornhub is likely very unhappy with this law considering their own employees have admitted it hurts their bottom-line.
Big win in Texas today. A big shout out to the politicians that authored this bill:
Matt Shaheen
Nate Schatzline
Nicole Collier
Claudia Ordaz
Jared Patterson
The bill was also sponsored by Angela Paxton, and pushed forward through legal battles by Attorney General Ken Paxton.

In practice, what does this do? Any parent that wanted to block the site already could. The site can still be accessed via VPN. There are many alternatives for seeking this kind of material.
The law seems irrelevant when the public school system has access to kids five days a week and pushes transgenderism and homosexuality on them. So for years, directly in-person, the government school tells kids sexual deviancy is beautiful and all the material found on these smut sites is lovely - "love is love" - but now that one site out of a thousand is quasi-gone now that's a victory?
You could have easily given this story the Greg Abbott border water buoy treatment. AKA: This law is useless symbolism. It doesn't move the needle at all.
