Pornhub explained thatβ€”similar to blocks in Texas, Utah, Arkansas, Virginia, Montana, North Carolina, and Mississippiβ€”the site refuses to comply with soon-to-be-enforceable age-verification laws in this new batch of states that allegedly put users at "substantial risk" of identity theft, phishing, and other harms.
