Age Verification in the US

As of today Рогпhub is blocked in almost all of the U.S. South. The war on porn is real. And it probably won’t stop at Pornhub and porn.

In the context of these laws, age verification requires users to prove that they are 18+ to view adult content.

There are multiple ways that a user can prove their age, but any effective method requires them to submit some form of personally identifiable information (“PII”), like a driver's license.

This is not a privacy-by-design approach.
