Pornhub and other major porn sites owned by MindGeek now require Louisiana residents to verify their ages because of the state’s new porn law that took effect on January 1, 2023.

“Louisiana law now requires us to put in place a process for verifying the age of users who connect to our site from Louisiana. The privacy and security of the Pornhub community is our priority, and we thank you for your cooperation,” the Pornhub website tells Louisiana-based users when they try to access the website.

Pornhub owner MindGeek also operates Brazzers, YouPorn, and Redtube. All of those MindGeek sites now prompt Louisiana-based users to verify their age. Websites that violate the new state law could be found liable in civil lawsuits.
