Pornhub Blocks All of Utah From Its Site
May 1, 2023
In response to a new law that
requires porn sites to verify
users’ ages, Pornhub has
completely disabled its websites
for people located in Utah.
As of today, anyone accessing
Pornhub from a Utah-based IP
address doesn’t see the Pornhub
homepage, but instead is met
with a video of Cherie DeVille,
adult performer and member of
the Adult Performer Advocacy
Committee, explaining that they
won’t be able to visit the site.
In January, Pornhub started
requiring identification from
Louisiana-based users, following
the passage of a law that makes
porn sites liable for content
deemed “harmful to minors.”
Several copycat bills started
moving through state legislatures
with varying success, including
in Arkansas, which recently
passed its version into law.
In 2016, Utah declared porn a “
public health crisis,” and "an
epidemic that is harming the
citizens of Utah and the nation.”
Members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints have
recently and historically
represented the majority of
legislators in Utah, and in
2009, Utah was considered the
“online porn capital” of the
United States, with the most
porn consumers logging on in
the nation. In 2021, Cox signed
a law that would require device
manufacturers to add adult
content filters on all
smartphones and tablets sold
in Utah.
Experts say that age
verification doesn’t work to
protect children online, and
only works to drive material
that is harmful to minors to
less safe spaces on the
internet, while exposing adults
to more risk of identity theft,
private data hacks, and
extortion. Immediately after
SB 287 passed the house and
senate in Utah, residents
there started discussing how
best to use virtual private
networks to keep accessing porn.
