Porn site PornHub is adding Florida to its list of states to be blocked starting next year. recently reported that Floridians who visited the porn website were greeted with a warning that "You will lose access to PornHub within 14 days" thanks to a new state law requiring ID to access the website.

PornHub has blocked access to its wealth of sexually explicit content from several states due to new state laws requiring visitors to provide a valid state ID to verify their age. Florida legislature passed and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law on March 25 a series of rules to protect minors from explicit material. Adult entertainment trade association The Free Speech Coalition is fighting the Florida law in federal court. .

Florida will become the 13th state to introduce an age-verification law for adult websites. Florida follows , Arkansas, Virginia, Mississippi, that all of them have ID laws on their books.

"Not only does it violate the protected free speech rights of adults, but it passes strict scrutiny by using the least effective and most restrictive means to achieve the state's stated goal of protecting minors."

The PornHub blog also states that the company is concerned about the safety and well-being of children, but the idea of ​​using authentication poses more risks to users' safety and privacy.
