Pornhub, the busiest porn website in the United States, began blocking access to all Utah users as of Monday.

“Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Utah,” Pornhub says in a statement posted to their adult website.

“As you may know, your elected officials in Utah are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website,” a statement from Pornhub — and an accompanying SFW video featuring adult performer Cherie DeVille — says. The statement adds that, without proper enforcement, underage users could be driven to other, less reputable sites that don’t have the same standards. The most effective solution, the company contends, is to identify users by their device and “allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification.”
