The State of Texas Attorney General is suing Chaturbate for non-compliance with the states new age verification laws. The lawsuit claims Chaturbate isn't doing enough to stop minors from viewing adult content. The lawsuit is asking for $1.78 million as well as $10k a day for every day after the lawsuits filing.
It makes me wonder what changes Chaturbate will have to make to become compliant with this law or might the camsite block access within Texas? This has happened with other porn sites already rather than changing to become compliant in states with laws similar to Texas. Could this force Chaturbate to change their account creation process as it pertains to free accounts (grey)? Interesting times ahead...

Absolutely disgusting! Shame on the state of Texas for wasting tax payer dollars when they know there is a pending constitutional challenge.https://t.co/FXKwBcmoax
*Update...
Chaturbate has made some changes for viewers who access the camsite from the state of Texas in order to comply with the states age verification law. Any viewer who is in the state of Texas will need to have their age verified in one of two ways. Both of these ways are found on Chaturbate's Texas age verification page. Once a viewer is verified they won't be asked to do this during each login. Keep in mind this is the same for all types of accounts, ones with tokens & greys who haven't purchased tokens. In order to access Chaturbate in Virginia & Utah verification is now required.
*Court of Appeals Update...
An appeals court denied a request to put the law on hold while the entities appealing it reach out to the Supreme Court asking them to review the laws constitutionality.
