TL;DR Summary

Pornhub has blocked access to its site in Texas in protest of the state's new age verification law, which requires users to prove their age using government-issued ID or third-party systems. The law also mandates the display of a controversial "health warning." Pornhub's parent company, MindGeek, argues that the law is ineffective and dangerous, and has also blocked access in other states with similar laws. The 5th Circuit upheld the age verification portion of the law but struck down the health warning requirement. The company plans to appeal the ruling, arguing that there are more effective ways to restrict access to adult content for minors without infringing on adults' rights.
