US EditionIndiana AG’s Office Files Lawsuit Against PornHub, Other Porn Websites Accused of Violating Age Verification Law
Indiana alleges Aylo's ~50 sites failed to fully block minors and misled consumers, seeking injunction, penalties, and investigation cost recovery in age-verification lawsuit.
- On Dec. 3, Indiana filed suit in Marion Superior Court against operators of approximately 50 pornographic websites linked to Aylo, multinational pornographic conglomerate including Pornhub and RedTube.
- The 2024 law requires adult oriented websites to verify users are at least 18, aiming to prevent minors' access and following a U.S. Supreme Court decision on a similar Texas law.
- According to the complaint, the lawsuit primarily focuses on entities within the Aylo conglomerate, claiming their websites deliberately exposed children and minors to obscene material, including sexual violence and rape fantasies.
- The State of Indiana is asking for an injunction, civil penalties and recovery of costs, and the complaint alleges violations of the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act.
- IndyStar found the sites disabled direct access from Indiana, but the lawsuit notes virtual private networks and location-spoofing can circumvent those blocks, while digital privacy and free-speech advocates warn mandatory age verification risks adults' privacy and burdens expression.
