So I'm in Texas and Pornhub already did the same thing here. What I don't get is all of the studio and professional aggregator sites that have existed for 30 years, well before user-generated video platforms were a thing, still operate in Texas. They use exactly the same age verification they've always used. Click yes on a splash screen before you can see free preview content, and submit a credit card to see paid content. If no one complains, we'll assume that was actually your credit card and you're thus 18.
Why is that good enough for every porn site in the world except Pornhub? I have still never seen a website ask for an actual ID except remote test proctoring stuff that popped up for IT certification exams after Covid closed the testing centers.
- tills13 2y agoThis might be a case of PornHub's popularity and position actually being detrimental to them, here. The smaller sites are going to operate on a "we'll deal with it when we have to" model whereas PornHub, due to being (or partially being) the reason for the laws in the first place, do not have the luxury of seeing if they are even discovered to be in violation.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoMy understanding is that every site other than pornhub is just ignoring the law and either hoping the state doesnt come after them or just operating offshore where the state has no jurisdiction.
