As you may or may not know, the elected officials in some US states are now requiring websites with adult content to verify a visitor’s age before allowing access to a website. Unfortunately, due to these recent age verification laws in the US states listed below, I have had to block access for visitors in these locations. The legal compliance and penalties are risky for a small business owner like myself. However I am now offering a free membership that includes age verification.

Additional information…
As you may have also read, Pornhub recently also made this same decision. While there are digital age verification technologies available, they can be cost-prohibitive and also do little to protect the identify of the visitor. Requiring a visitor to upload a copy of their ID in order to access adult content puts users’ privacy at risk. Adults should have the freedom to view and browse any content they want anonymously and privately without the risk of their online behavior getting hacked or leaked and used against them in the public section, such as government enforcement or in their job.
Age verification is a good thing and wholeheartedly I believe in protecting minors from access to adult content to make the internet safe, however it needs to be done correctly and these laws are purely the over-religious right asserting their beliefs and control over people in these states. I am based in California so we’re good here, but I just can’t risk any retribution from these other states. If you live in one of these states, I’m sorry you don’t have the freedom and privacy protections to do what you want.
Rather than try to explain everything myself, I urge you to read the statement issued by Pornhub so you can learn more and help take action.
Again, if you have been blocked but do not live in any of the states above, please leave a comment below or contact me to help resolve the unintentional block. If you have any other question or want to discuss this more, please leave a comment below.
Thank you!
