Pornhub disables website in Texas after AG sues for not verifying users’ ages
thehill.com

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.”

For real? That's how we got ours too! (I'm exactly stranger things age.) Who was leaving all the porn in the woods?!?! Why? Why are anthropologists not dropping everything to figure this out?

Same when I was a younger teen. Then when I got to be an older teen with access to that I used to leave my stacks in the woods when I was done. Circle of life.

Sniff...maybe I should try to reconcile with my older brother... 😥

Ew don’t sniff them, you don’t know where they’ve been.

Surely you mean don't sniff them, you know exactly where they've been.
