Dear user,
As you may know, your elected officials in Florida are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website. While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk.
In addition, mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms the opportunity to choose whether or not to comply. As we’ve seen in other states, this just drives traffic to sites with far fewer safety measures in place. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust
Trust and Safety measures we currently have in place. To protect children and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content.
The safety of our users is one of our biggest concerns. We believe that the best and most effective solution for protecting children and adults alike is to identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification. Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Florida.
Please contact your representatives before it is too late and demand device-based verification solutions that make the internet safer while also respecting your privacy.

MIAMI - Floridians have lost access to Pornhub.com, the world's most popular adult entertainment website and 16th-most-visited site of any kind in the world.
Pornhub's parent company, Aylo, said it
opted to block access to its site in Florida rather than comply with a new state law that kicks in on Jan. 1, 2025, requiring age verification to visit pornographic platforms.
The law, known as
HB 3, was passed by the Florida Legislature in March. Last month, a trade group representing the adult entertainment industry filed a federal lawsuit trying to strike it down.
