Pornhub sues Texas, saying new age-verification law shafts porn-site users
Website Pornhub and adult-entertainment industry groups argue that a Texas law set to take effect Sept. 1 violates the U.S. Constitution by requiring people who access adult content online to submit a photo to verify their age. The site and its allies have now sued the Lone Star State to block the law. In June 2022, Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 1181, which requires porn sites to digitally verify that each web user is over 18 years old by demanding that users submit pictures of their government-issued photo ID or facial scans, either to third-party companies or to the sites themselves.
