At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.
But, isn’t Florida where they make some of the porn?..California, Florida, Nevada. The rest is the other parts of the world or people in their bedrooms or hotel bedrooms.
The law doesn’t technically ban porn. It just sets arduous requirements on distribution of porn. They can still produce it all they want, but Florida is now a difficult market to sell it in.
I expect to see a rise in European or other foreign porn sites. These will be able to safely ignore any “requirements” from Florida.
