Age verification laws in Arizona will come into effect on September 26, as users will now have to provide ID to view adult content.
We have seen numerous examples of age verification laws in recent months, most notably the UK's Online Safety Act.
If a minor accesses harmful content as a result of these violations, penalties of up to $250,000 can be imposed.
In a statement provided to FOX 10 Phoenix, adult-entertainment distributor, Aylo, said it has "supported age verification of users for years."
According to the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and its Age Verification Bill Tracker, 22 US states currently have age verification laws in effect.
