Two porn websites face millions in fines after Texas accuses them of ignoring its age-verification law
Attorney General Ken Paxton filing a lawsuits this week against adult-content websites XHamster and Chaturbate, alleging that the naughty online platforms are violating Texas' age-verification law, which had been tied up until recently in a federal court fight. Paxton's suits, filed Tuesday in Travis County District Court against the porn websites' parent companies, Multi Media LLC and Hammy Media, is requesting that the companies pay millions in fines for violating the law, House Bill 1181, adopted by the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature in 2023. Allowed to go into effect earlier this month, the measure requires porn websites operating in Texas to require age verification by users with an official government-issued ID. After an appeals court ruled in the state's favor on the law's constitutionality, adult content websites Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn have pulled out of the state, blocking access for Texas users.
