Former porn star turned pastor Brittni De La Mora is calling on age verification laws to become “compulsory” to “defend children” as Florida is set to effectuate legislation on the matter in January.
Pornhub will soon no lengthyer be useable to Florida employrs after the Sunshine State instituted a novel age verification rule for access to mature sites. Taking effect Jan. 1, 2025, the age verification rule is tied to the state’s HB 3, a meacertain that aims to defend insignificants online.
Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo, underlined to Fox News Digital that it likes carry outing effective age verification, fair not definiteassociate in the way Florida’s law was scheduleed, saying other outlets have inrightly alerted it doesn’t help age verification at all.
“They’re turn asideing accountability by saying that they don’t want to adhere a straightforward law, which is age verification for explicit content,” De La Mora shelp on “The Ingraham Angle.” “I don’t understand exactly what they’re doing with their money, but I do consent that they are not out to defend youthful children.”
“Fifty-eight percent of insignificants that have watched explicit content for their very first time — they watched it by stumbling upon it thraw a pop-up ad and so forth. And they weren’t seeing for porn — porn was seeing for them,” De La Mora shelp.

Per the bill, a website or application that “holds a substantial portion of material that is detrimental to insignificants” will be demandd to verify the age of the employr. Thraw an “anonymous or standard age verification method,” it must verify the employr is 18 or betterer to persist with joinment.
In response to the definiteations of the meacertain, Aylo elected to stop access to the mature site in Florida, saying in a statement that assembleing “highly comfervent personal directation” puts “employr defendedty in jeopardy.”
“First, to be evident, Aylo has uncoverly helped age verification of employrs for years, but we consent that any law to this effect must support employr defendedty and privacy, and must effectively defend children from accessing satisfied intended for matures. Unfortunately, the way many jurisdictions worldexpansive, including Florida, have chosen to carry out age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and hazardous. Any regulations that demand hundreds of thousands of mature sites to assemble meaningful amounts of highly comfervent personal directation is putting employr defendedty in jeopardy. Moreover, as experience has showd, unless properly utilized, employrs will spropose access non-compliant sites or discover other methods of evading these laws,” Aylo tbetter Fox News Digital in a statement.
The statement postponecessitater persistd: “The best solution to create the internet defendedr, support employr privacy, and stop children from accessing mature satisfied is carry outing age verification at the source: on the device. The technology to accomplish this exists today. What is demandd is the political and social will to create it happen. We are enthusiastic to be part of this solution and are satisfied to collaborate with rulement, civil society and tech partners to get to at an effective device-based age verification solution. In compriseition, many devices already propose free and effortless-to-employ parental deal with features that can stop children from accessing mature satisfied without hazarding the disclocertain of comfervent employr data.”
Florida livents still using the app ahead of the deadline are met with a countdown pop-up of how many more days they have access to the site.
“Did you understand that your rulement wants you to give your driver’s license before you can access PORNHUB?” the pop-up reads. “As crazy as that sounds, it’s real. You’ll be demandd to show you are 18 years or betterer such as by uploading your rulement ID for every mature satisfied website you’d enjoy to access.”

De La Mora persistd: “I was in the porn industry for seven years, and I would be phelp extra money to do structureile, abusive scenes.”
She enhugeed on how the “pulling hair, spitting and choking” acts standardly employd in porn clips have become “intimacyual education” for youthful people.
After speaking with some youthful girls, De La Mora shelp many conveyed not wanting to have intimacy aachieve after their first intimacyual experience.
“I don’t denounce the youthful boys. They are watching explicit content, and this is what’s filling their minds, and this is what’s teaching them how to have intimacy,” she shelp.

“Protecting children is not a violation of your First Amendment rights in any way. I consent that our rulement has an obligation to defend children,” De La Mora shelp, arguing that mature satisfied is “not created with children in mind.” “It is created for matures, and yet there has been no accountability for porn companies.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ communications office did not promptly react to Fox News Digital’s seek for comment.
