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.”

In other news, VPN sales in Texas skyrocket.
Imaging knowing how to VPN, but not knowing how to vote to keep your rights.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who know how to use a VPN, but their votes against this nonsense get drowned out because it is a red state.
All states are basically red states with islands of blue cities.
Maybe compared to previous usage, but I doubt that most of the population will use a VPN for that.
