Pornhub Blocks Access In Texas Over Age Verification Law

Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, has blocked access to the popular pornography site to Texan users. The move comes in protest of a state age-verification law that was upheld in federal court. Texas becomes the seventh state to lose access to the litany of pornographic services owned by Aylo. Other sites blocked include YouPorn, Brazzers, Digital Playground, and RealityKings. Aylo has chosen to disable the website rather than comply with a highly restrictive and intrusive age verification law.

Furthermore, Texan users trying to access the site will instead find an open letter from Aylo rebuking the law, which was upheld in federal court last week. “Not only does this impinge on the rights of adults to access protected speech, it fails strict scrutiny by employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors,” the letter reads in part. Furthermore, Alex Kekesi, VP of brand and community at Aylo, called the Texan law “ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous”.

TikTok Ban Passes The House

However, Aylo is not the only tech company gearing up for legal battles with the American political system. A bipartisan bill that could see TikTok banned in the United States has passed the US House of Representatives by a vote of 325-65. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act would demand that TikTok divest from its Chinese parent company. If the company refused, the app would become unavailable in the United States. The bill was proposed on the basis of protecting the data of American users from the Chinese. However, many opponents have labeled the bill as Sinophobic fearmongering.

While the bill faces an uphill battle in the senate, several American entities are already plotting their next steps. A US group led by former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has announced their intention to mount a bid to buy TikTok. Mnuchin revealed the plan while appearing on CNBC’s Squawk Box. Mnuchin, who gained notoriety for his OneWestBank firm during the 2008 recession, was one of the few cabinet secretaries to see out Donald Trump‘s entire term in office.

Melissa Stratton Searches Spike In Wake Of Sean Evans Breakup

Per a statement given by Aylo to TMZ, PornHub searches for Melissa Stratton spiked by 1217% in the wake of the news that she and Hot Ones host Sean Evans had broken up. The company projected that Stratton’s numbers would top a 1350% spike by the end of February 15. As for Stratton herself, she appeared to be taking the breakup well. She posted an image to Instagram showing herself in the company of famed pornstar Johnny Sins. “It’s ok I’ve got a better bald man to get spicy with @mosttalentedbaldman 🔥🍗,” Stratton wrote as a caption.

According to Stratton, Evans was uncomfortable with the amount of media attention their relationship had suddenly received after TMZ published news about the couple on Valentine’s Day. Stratton theorized that while Evans was fine with her employment, there were others in his camp who pressured him to end the relationship now that it was public. Evans and Stratton attended the Super Bowl together last weekend, with the photos from that event becoming the basis of TMZ‘s report. Perhaps the straw that broke the camel’s back was No Jumper host Adam22 congratulating Evans with a message about how he had previously had sex with Stratton. It’s unlikely that things will change. However, perhaps this is a pertinent moment for media outlets to be introspective about the very real impact they have on the lives of others.

Who Is Sean Evans?

Sean Evans got his start in journalism as a copywriter in Chicago. While working for the city’s tourism board, he was also freelancing for Complex. After some of his interviews went viral, Evans was offered a full-time position with the culture outlet. Under the Complex-owned brand of First We Feast, Evans created Hot Ones. As mentioned, the show combines the in-depth interview style of Nardwuar with the sight of celebrities struggling to eat progressively spicier hot wings.

However, Evans has made it clear that he doesn’t intend to do Hot Ones forever. “I do feel in some ways closer to the end of it than the beginning. We have been doing it for a long time. I’m not sure there’s anything that I’m leaving on the table. Hot Ones has already done 10 laps around any expectation that I ever had for it. So it’s in a spot where I’m just doing something that I really enjoy doing. So I’m committed to Hot Ones for as long as the fans will allow it,” he told Esquire in 2021.

Moriah Mills Gets Massive Pornhub Search Spike After Zion Williamson Drama

Earlier this week, porn star Moriah Mills made some scandalous allegations about New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson. After Williamson posted photos from a gender reveal party with Akheema, Mills took to Twitter to spill the tea. Mills claimed that she and Williamson have been an item for some time, hooking up as recently as last week. Furthermore, Mills claimed that Williamson is paying for her to move to New Orleans. Williamson has not responded to any of the allegations that have come out this week.

It wasn’t the end of Williamson’s problems, however. A microblading artist named Yami Taylor also came forward with claims that Williamson had recently slept with her. Furthermore, Taylor included an image that appeared to be of Williamson asleep in bed. It’s been a truly wild week to exist in NBA circles. However, it’s turning into something of a lucrative opportunity for Mills.

Mills Breaks Into Top-100 On Pornhub

Moriah Mills has worked in the porn industry since at least 2017. Her collaborations include big-name studios such as Reality Kings, Brazzers, and Jules Jordan. However, the link to Zion Williamson has sent her numbers into the stratosphere. According to a report from TMZ, June 7 saw a 2293% increase in searches for Mills on Pornhub. Furthermore, at the time of writing, she is #91 on Pornhub’s pornstar ranking and #30 this week. By comparison, her peak in May was at #173. Additionally, Mills is currently the #3 trending pornstar within Pornhub’s search function.

Furthermore, according to the Pornhub representative who spoke with TMZ, the demographics who have been searching for Mills skew more female than male. Additionally, Mills is continuing to milk the increased attention for every drop. After posting a green dress thrist trap on TikTok, Mills reshared it to Twitter with the caption “His number 1 draft pick.” Mills’ numbers will likely continue to rise over the coming days and now it’s just a question of how far she’ll rise before interest eventually drops off. This is a developing story and we’ll have all the latest updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Pornhub Asks IG Why Kim Kardashian Can Show Her “Exposed Ass” But They Get Banned

We don’t know what you had on your “End of September” bingo card, but Pornhub has entered the chat with a surprising addition. The popular adult entertainment website fired off a scathing letter to the powers that be at Meta and Instagram after their account on the latter platform was permanently banned.

Pornhub has demanded that the social media networks cease allegedly discriminating against adult entertainment and its workers, and they mentioned Kim Kardashian’s repeated nude moments, as well, in an open letter.

“We demand an explanation and guidance as to why our accounts are continuously deleted, and why content we spend money creating in order to engage with our audience is removed, even when we do not breach any of Instagram’s rules,” the letter read.

“Kim Kardashian has posted her fully exposed ass to her 330 million followers without any restrictive action from Instagram,” they added. “We are happy to see that Kim and the artistic team behind the image are free to share their work on the platform, but question why we are denied the same treatment.”

However, a Meta spokesperson stated that Pornhub repeatedly violated its guidelines and policies. According to Variety, on Instagram, Pornhub would create posts and videos that allegedly “encouraged people to become pornography performers.” It is said to be against the rules to make any attempts of recruitment for sexual activities of that nature.
