"Major Porn Site Restricts Access in Montana and NC Ahead of New Legislation"

Pornhub has restricted access to its site for users in Montana and North Carolina in response to new age verification laws that require users to provide identification for access. The company, now known as Aylo, is pushing back against these laws, arguing that they lack proper enforcement and could drive users to less compliant sites. The blockage serves as a form of protest against the laws, which have also been adopted in other states and are part of a broader issue Pornhub faces, including accusations of user data abuse in Europe.
