Pornhub Texas Return Possible After High Court Age Check Ruling


Pornhub is considering whether to resume operations in Texas after the porn industry lost a Supreme Court challenge over the state’s age-verification requirements last month, its lawyer said in court Thursday.

In the federal challenge, a coalition of porn sites said Thursday they’ll move forward in pursuing non-First Amendment claims that weren’t resolved by the Supreme Court. Senior US District Judge David Ezra encouraged the parties to move slowly, saying he doesn’t want to see any dispositive motions until a year from now. Ezra sharply criticized the verification law, saying that although he agrees with its purpose of protecting minors, users he insists can get around it by accessing sites through a virtual private network.
