The new lawsuits came a week after the adult website Pornhub disabled website access to users in Texas to comply with the new law, HB 1181.TEXAS, USA — Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Thursday that he’s suing two more companies that operate adult websites, alleging they’re not following a new Texas law that requires them to have age verification measures.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the age verification requirement was Constitutional and didn’t violate the First Amendment. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling halted enforcement of a provision of HB 1181 that required adult websites to display notices warning of the possible effects of pornography on mental health, though."As you may know, your elected officials in Texas are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website," the message on Pornhub.com said.
