Texas AG Takes Legal Action Against Chaturbate and xHamster Over Age-Verification

In a significant move, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated lawsuits against two prominent adult content providers, MultiMedia LLC and Hammy Media, for their failure to comply with the state’s new age-verification law, HB 1181. The law, aimed at protecting minors from accessing adult content, mandates that websites operating within the adult industry implement robust age verification processes to ensure users are 18 years of age or older.


The legal action targets the operators of well-known websites Chaturbate and xHamster, marking a continued effort by the state of Texas to enforce stringent age-verification requirements. This development follows closely on the heels of Pornhub’s decision to restrict access to its site for Texas users, a direct response to the same legislation.

HB 1181, signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott and set to be enforced starting September, has sparked significant controversy and legal battles, including a lawsuit filed by Pornhub and other organizations challenging the constitutionality of the law. However, recent rulings by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit have upheld the age verification requirement, affirming its alignment with the government’s interest in preventing minors’ access to pornography without infringing on First Amendment rights.

While the court has supported the age verification mandate, it halted the enforcement of another provision of HB 1181 requiring adult websites to post health warnings regarding the potential effects of pornography on mental health, citing concerns over compelled speech.

The ongoing legal disputes and the enforcement of HB 1181 highlight the complexities of regulating adult content online while balancing the rights of adults to access protected speech. The lawsuits against MultiMedia LLC and Hammy Media seek damages totaling millions, underscoring the significant implications for adult websites failing to comply with the new Texas law.

Pornhub, OnlyFans and Major Cams Platforms Confront Italy’s New Age-Check Rules

Italy has formally named 45 porn and porn-adjacent websites that must introduce stricter age verification from November 12, 2025, as the country becomes the latest to tighten access to adult content.


The Italian communications regulator AGCOM has published a list of services it classifies as providing pornographic material in Italy. The roster includes Aylo-owned platforms Pornhub, Redtube, and YouPorn, along with xHamster, camming site Chaturbate, and subscription giant OnlyFans, among others.

Under the new framework, all sites on the list will be required to verify that users connecting from Italy are 18 or older through certified third-party providers. These verification partners may include dedicated age-check services, banks, or mobile operators that already hold verified customer data. Crucially, the process is expected to be repeated each time a user visits one of the listed platforms, rather than operating as a one-time verification per site, as is the case in some other markets, such as the UK.

Italy’s legal basis for porn age verification came into force in May, but platforms were granted a grace period until November 12. Only now has the full list of affected services been disclosed, and it features many of the industry’s largest brands. The move comes as critics of age verification argue that strict regimes tend to push traffic away from the biggest, more heavily scrutinized platforms and toward smaller sites that may be less compliant or less transparent.

In the UK, where tougher age checks for porn access were introduced in July, Pornhub has claimed that traffic from the country fell by 77 percent after the new rules took effect. According to parent company Aylo, users are not abandoning adult content altogether but are instead gravitating toward platforms that have not yet implemented – or are not yet being forced to implement – comparable verification systems.

Subsequent traffic data has indicated that, as visits to major porn brands decreased, some smaller adult sites experienced a corresponding rise in UK user numbers. At the same time, the UK regulator Ofcom has opened investigations into a range of pornography services, including lesser-known sites it alleges are not complying with the updated rules.

In Italy, platforms that appear on AGCOM’s list and fail to adopt compliant age verification procedures by November 12 risk facing penalties of up to 250,000 euros (around 290,000 US dollars). Observers expect that the regulator will add more services to the list over time as enforcement develops and new sites are identified.

Italy is also one of five EU member states that have piloted an age verification application developed by the European Commission. The tool is intended to provide a privacy-preserving way to prove that a user is over 18, with potential future use in porn age verification systems across the bloc.
