Pornhub will now not be obtainable in Florida … a significant response to a brand new state regulation requiring age verification to go to grownup platforms — and one porn star tells TMZ the stand is a double-edged sword.

This is the deal … Pornhub’s mother or father firm, Aylo, opted to dam entry to attractive Floridians reasonably than adjust to the regulation taking impact on Jan. 1, requiring a state ID be shared to show that would-be lookers are 18.

Maitland Ward tells TMZ … Pornhub is “not good” and will do extra to make sure minors aren’t viewing the free website, however as she sees it — Florida monitoring individuals’s porn habits is a slippery slope that’ll make horndogs mighty uncomfortable.

Applauding Pornhub’s stance, which is seen as standing totally free speech, Maitland anticipates the choice will push extra individuals to paid websites of stars and, after all, OnlyFans.

Nonetheless, MW factors out that by pulling out of Florida, the favored Canadian-based website is alienating an enormous inhabitants which may maintain a grudge … in solely one of many 4 states the place it’s authorized to movie skilled porn … so the choice is a giant deal.

Paid websites require a bank card, so sharing an ID with that data doesn’t appear as invasive … however once more — PH is free, so importing a driver’s license is seen as going too far.
