Pornhub is fight back against Utah's new law requiring visitors to porn websites to verify their age by dangerously identifying themselves before being able to watch adult content.. Pornhub began totally blocking Utah-based internet connections' from
access to its content when the law took effect May 3. The site redirects visitors to a video message of adult film actress Cherie DeVille explaining that the company disabled access over concerns that the law is not the most effective solution for
protecting our users and in fact will put children, and your privacy, at risk. The Free Speech Coalition, a group representing the adult entertainment industry, also sued to block the law's enforcement that same day, making a similar argument about
the trade-off regarding safety, privacy, and adults' freedom to browse the web as they wish. The group has also vowed to sue over unsafe age-verification measures set to take effect soon in other states. |
