Pornhub, under its parent company Aylo, will block access to its site in five more states, including Kentucky, Indiana, Idaho, Kansas, and Nebraska, starting mid-July 2024. This decision comes in response to new age verification laws that require users to provide proof of age via government-issued ID. Pornhub has cited privacy concerns as the reason for opting to block access rather than comply with these laws. The move will affect over 18 million Americans who will lose access to the site. Visitors to Pornhub and other Aylo sites are currently seeing popups informing them of the impending block based on their local IP addresses. Aylo has communicated this decision to local news outlets in Kentucky and Indiana.
