Do age-verification laws work? Not according to this study.

Summary

Nutrition label

85% Informative

A working paper from various university researchers suggests that age-verification laws aren't effective.

They found a 46.6 percent traffic reduction of searches to Pornhub , the biggest platform compliant with the laws.

Pornhub has blocked most states with age verification laws because of the burden of complying.

In Louisiana , where Pornhub still operates while complying, traffic has dropped 80 percent .

The study has yet to be peer-reviewed or published in a journal, but the authors wanted to publish it as a working paper now because the Supreme Court decision still hasn't come down.

The results will be updated once SCOTUS makes its ruling on age verification laws.

For now, these initial findings propose that age-verification laws don't achieve their intended purpose.
