Texas AG Sues 2 Porn Purveyors Under State's Age-Verification Law

Texas sued porn website operators Multi Media and Hammy Media for violating a state law requiring sites to verify users are not minors, Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) said Thursday. The state seeks an injunction requiring the companies to put in place age-verification mechanisms and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day going back to Sept. 19. Texas filed the lawsuits against Multi and Hammy, which respectively run the sites Chaturbate and xHamster, in the Texas District Court of Travis County.
