Texans can no longer access adult content website Pornhub.The site pulled out of Texas on Thursday, less than a week after an appeals court ruled that Texas can enforce a law that requires age-verification systems on pornographic websites.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of the law but said Texas would not be able to enforce the provision requiring the controversial health warnings.A lower court blocked the law in a preliminary ruling on August 31, a day before it was to take effect. U.S. District Judge David Ezra ruled that it would impinge on adults' access to free speech by requiring them to identify themselves to use the site and that there were other ways to halt children from accessing pornography.
