Why does Pornhub block states instead of complying with age verification rules?
Pornhub has offered several reasons why it simply bans traffic from states with age verification rules rather than complying.
Such laws drive users from sites that comply to the thousands of websites that don't, many of them with far fewer safety measures in place.
Such laws reduce content creators' ability to "post and distribute legal adult content and directly impact their ability to share the artistic messages they want to convey with it."
