BREAKING: The United States Declares War on Pornhub

Ah, America—land of the free, home of the brave, and, apparently, a nation with a very complicated relationship with adult entertainment. In a shocking (but somehow not shocking) move, several states have decided that the real problem plaguing society isn’t, say, rising inflation or the fact that your rent costs more than your soul, but Pornhub. Yes, that Pornhub.

The adult entertainment giant has been banned in multiple states including Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana. Why? Because lawmakers have apparently decided they need to protect you from yourself. Or maybe they’re just bitter about their own search histories.

Wait, what happened? Is Pornhub really banned?

In a move that can only be described as peak "let’s legislate morality," these states have passed laws requiring porn sites to implement stringent age verification systems. Pornhub’s response? A polite, yet firm, middle finger in the form of blocking their own site in these states. Instead of jumping through a flaming hoop of bureaucracy, Pornhub now redirects users to a cheeky (and honestly, iconic) video explaining why the site is unavailable.

Imagine logging on for some "personal time" only to be greeted by a PSA. Truly, a dystopian nightmare.

The States Leading the Anti-Porn Parade

Here are all the states where you’re out of luck if you’re trying to catch some NSFW action:

  • Montana — Where the buffalo roam freely, but your internet freedom doesn’t.
  • Idaho — Famous for potatoes, now infamous for being a buzzkill.
  • Utah — Because nothing says "family values" like banning people from exercising personal choice.
  • Nebraska — Where the Cornhuskers can’t even enjoy a little R&R online.
  • Kansas — The Wizard of Oz forgot to include freedom on the itinerary.
  • Oklahoma — Twice the laws, none of the fun.
  • Texas — The Lone Star State: big on freedom, except when it comes to your browser tabs.
  • Arkansas — As if the Razorbacks didn’t already have enough disappointment in their lives.
  • Mississippi — Land of sweet tea, southern charm, and no Pornhub for you.
  • Alabama — They outlawed your "Sweet Home" browsing time.
  • Florida — The state that loves freedom as long as it’s Disney-related.
  • South Carolina — Where the beaches are hot, but your browser isn’t.
  • North Carolina — Tar Heel State? More like Tar Block State.
  • Virginia — Apparently, the birthplace of America’s Bill of Rights forgot about the whole "pursuit of happiness" thing.
  • Kentucky — Known for bourbon, but not for letting you sip on any NSFW content.
  • Indiana — The Hoosier State just became the "Who’s Watching" state.

Georgia is set to implement age verification for viewing porn sites in July 2025. And while Louisiana introduced it in Jan 2023, Pornhub is sending users to an age verification site rather than completely blocking access.

Why is This Happening?

Good question. The official reasoning is "to protect children." While we’re all for safeguarding the young and impressionable, banning an entire platform because some people might misuse it feels a lot like banning cars because some people run red lights. It’s overkill, and, let’s be honest, it’s not really solving the problem.

This is less about protecting children and more about political posturing. After all, it’s easier to grandstand about porn than to tackle actual issues like healthcare, education, or the fact that your local grocery store wants $8 for a box of cereal.
