"PornHub Enforces Access Block in NC and Montana Ahead of New Age Verification Laws"

Aylo, the parent company of PornHub, has blocked access to its adult websites in Montana and North Carolina due to new age verification laws requiring the verification of visitors' ages. The laws aim to prevent minors from accessing harmful material but have raised concerns about privacy and the effectiveness of such measures. The restrictions have led to an increase in VPN usage, although this could result in adult sites blocking VPN traffic to ensure compliance. The situation highlights the ongoing debate over internet censorship, user privacy, and the challenges of enforcing age verification online.

"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.
