Blocking of Pornhub in Southern States Due to Age Verification Laws
Adult content website Pornhub has been blocked in nearly every southern state due to laws requiring age verification. 17 states including Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee have officially blocked Pornhub. Conservative-leaning states like Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, and Utah have also enacted similar laws. Sites failing to screen viewers could face heavy fines or lawsuits. VPN use in Florida jumped 1,150% following the implementation of these laws.
