Brittni de la Mora, a former porn star turned pastor, called for age verification laws to “protect children” as Florida plans to take effect on the issue in January. They are calling for it to be made compulsory.
Users in Florida will soon be unable to use Pornhub after the Sunshine State enacted new age verification rules for accessing adult sites. The age verification rules effective January 1, 2025: State HB 3Measures aimed at protecting minors online.
Aylo, Pornhub's parent company, stressed to Fox News Digital that it is in favor of effective age verification, just because it doesn't apply specifically to the way Florida's law is designed, and that it doesn't support other media outlets. He said it was incorrectly reporting that it was not supported at all.
“They're avoiding responsibility by saying they don't want to follow the simple law of age verification for pornography,” Delamora said.Ingraham Angle“I don't know exactly what they're using that money for, but I believe it's not to protect young children.”
“Fifty-eight percent of minors who watched pornography for the first time did so by accident, such as through a pop-up ad, and they weren't looking for porn; porn was looking for them,” DellaMora said. spoke.

The bill would require websites or applications that “contain a significant portion of content that is harmful to minors” to verify the age of their users. To proceed with engagement, users must verify that they are 18 years of age or older, either “anonymously or through standard age verification methods.”
In response to this action, Ilo chose to suspend access to adult sites in Florida, stating that the collection of “sensitive personal information” jeopardized “user safety.” said in a statement.
“First, to be clear, while Aylo has publicly supported user age verification for years, laws to this effect protect the safety and privacy of our users and allow children to access adult content. Unfortunately, we believe that access to content must be effectively protected, even though many jurisdictions around the world, including Florida, have chosen to implement age verification. This is ineffective, haphazard and dangerous. It also affects hundreds of thousands of adults. Regulations that require sites to collect large amounts of sensitive personal information are putting the safety of users at risk.We have experience that unless properly enforced, users will simply visit non-compliant sites. They have been shown to find other ways to circumvent these laws,” Airo told FOX News Digital in a statement.
The statement then goes on to say, “The best solution to making the Internet safer, protecting user privacy, and preventing children from accessing adult content is to perform age verification at the source – on the device. The technology to achieve this exists today. All it takes is the political and social will to make it happen. We are eager to be part of the solution and look forward to working with governments, civil society and technology partners to deliver an effective device-based age verification solution, and many devices are already in use. We offer free and easy-to-use parental control features that allow children to become adults without risking sensitive user data. Prevent access to the content.
Florida residents still using the app before the deadline will see a countdown pop-up telling them how many days they have left to access the site.
“Did you know that your government requires you to provide a driver's license before you can access PORNHUB?” the pop-up says. “It may sound silly, but it's true. You must prove that you are 18 or older, such as by uploading your government ID, on every adult content website you want to visit.”

The pop-up also talked about how it supports preventing minors from accessing the site, saying that preventing its use is a “good thing.” It directed readers to other ways to block minor access, including “device-based age verification.”

De la Mora went on to say, “I was in the porn industry for seven years and I was paid extra for performing aggressive and abusive scenes.”
She detailed how the “hair-pulling, spitting and strangulation” often used in pornographic clips serves as “sex education” for young people.
After speaking with several young girls, de la Mora said many girls expressed that they did not want to have sex again after their first sexual experience.
“I don't blame the boys, they watch porn and it fills their minds and this teaches them how to have sex,” she said. Ta.

“Protecting children is not a violation of their First Amendment rights in any way. I believe the government has a duty to protect children,” DelaMora said, adding that adult content is not a violation of First Amendment rights. “It was not made with children in mind,” he said. “It's made for adults, but there's no accountability for porn companies.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' press office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
