Pornhub is urging Florida lawmakers to ditch website-by-website age verification in favor of device-level parental controls managed by tech companies. “Everyone subjected to these laws is more at risk than ever before of encountering online harm,” Pornhub writes. The unusually aggressive lobbying effort comes as nearly half of U.S. states, including Arizona, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas, have enacted some form of online age verification for adult websites. Supporters say the law closes an obvious loophole in online child safety, while Pornhub says it mostly closes compliant businesses. DeSantis’ office did not return New Times’ requests for comment via phone or email by the time of this reporting.
