The adult webcam site now conducts age verification while other porn sites have opted to block Texas.
Chaturbate will pay $675,000 in fines for not adhering to a new law in Texas that requires all porn sites to verify the age of users, according to a new report from 404 Media which cites a court order released Friday. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Chaturbate , along with Pornhub , last month for ignoring the age verification law, which requires all adult websites to verify ages through a driver’s license or passport.
A group of porn sites sued Texas shortly after the law was passed but the notoriously conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the state, allowing the law to stand. Texas originally sought a $1.78 million fine against Chaturbate, calculated by the 178 days the company didn’t have age verification after the law was passed on September 1, 2023, according to the Laredo Morning Times. That figure was reduced to the $675,000 figure announced Friday in the settlement.
