But on Tuesday, the Pornhub spokesperson told CNN the system is not currently equipped to perform online age verification and is only set up for in-person usage.

According to a website for the program, as of March, more than 24,000 people have registered with Utah’s system, which is designed to let users store their license on an app. Since 2021, authorities have offered Utah residents the option to create an electronic version of their driver’s license that is accepted at local credit unions, liquor stores and at Salt Lake City International Airport.
The spokesperson added that unlike Louisiana, Utah lacks a similar digital ID solution. Users accessing Pornhub from within Louisiana are presented with a different webpage that directs them to verify their age with the state’s digital ID system, known as LA Wallet.Ī spokesperson for the site told CNN that since the Louisiana law went into effect, traffic from that state has fallen by 80%. Pornhub, which says it receives 130 million visitors a day, is still available in Louisiana despite the age verification law. In Louisiana, one of the country’s first age requirements for adult websites went into effect in January. Age requirements for social websites have also been approved in Arkansas.īut porn is often a bellwether for how content and technologies may be regulated.
Last week, US senators proposed a nationwide ban on social media use for children under 13. State and federal lawmakers have increasingly pushed to mandate a minimum age for social media use, too. Porn sites aren’t the only ones to face calls for age verification. Pornhub declined to comment on its actions in Utah beyond the message it posted to users in the state, and it also declined to address the likelihood of attempts to circumvent the IP address filtering. “Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Utah,” the message said, concluding with a call for Utahns to “demand device-based verification solutions” from policymakers. The statement, accompanied by a video of an adult actor reading the message on-camera, added that the age verification requirement could drive users “to sites with far fewer safety measures.” And it called for policymakers to “identify users by their device” rather than by requiring them to upload their photo ID.
