People visiting Pornhub in Kentucky and Louisiana now face a countdown to the days they have left before the site blocks itself from their states, as a result of age verification legislation.
As spotted by industry outlet AVN, local news reports in Louisiana and Kentucky have reported on the change: Visitors to Pornhub.com in both states now see a popup when entering the site that says “YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO PORNHUB” in as many days as are left before the legislation in each state is enacted — as of writing, it’s 8 days in Indiana and 21 in Kentucky.
“Did you know that your government wants you to give your driver's license before you can access PORNHUB?,” the message says, “As crazy as that sounds, it's true. As of July 10, you'll be required to prove you are 18 years or older such as by uploading your government ID for every adult content website you'd like to access. We don't want minors accessing our site and think preventing that from happening is a good thing. But putting everybody's privacy at risk won't achieve that.” It links to a video about device-based verification and an op-ed on the topic by Pornhub’s Head of Community and Brand Alexzandra Kekesi.
