Aylo is suing Utah over a law that would put porn sites on the hook for users who hide behind a VPN, and the VPN escape hatch could be next.

A state passes age verification, Pornhub goes dark, and anyone who can spell VPN simply pretends to browse from somewhere friendlier. Utah wants to close that door by making porn sites responsible for verifying the age of users who mask their location, and Aylo is suing to stop it. If Utah wins, the cheap escape hatch that has kept adult sites reachable in age-verification states could collapse, and other states are watching closely to see whether the model holds up. This lands as our age verification thread crosses 94 entries, which tells you how long this fight has dragged on and how little of it has actually protected children. Elsewhere this week, we retested the Lelo Switch (two motors, one genuinely irritating auto-shutoff) and revisited the suction toy explainer for anyone catching up on where the category came from initially.
