Pornhub blocks access in Texas over age-restriction law



Fighting back against an age-verification requirement in Texas, Pornhub on Thursday blocked access to its content in the state.

Anyone with an IP address in Texas now is blocked from the site, which is one of the most popular porn websites viewed in the United States.

"Unfortunately, the Texas law for age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous," the statement read, Pornhub told NBC News. "Not only will it not actually protect children, but it will also inevitably 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."

The company encouraged users to contact their representatives about the state's law.

The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for monthly payments could be 2.4 percent starting next year, an increase from a previous forecast, said the Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan group representing retired people, according to several reports this week.
