PORNHUB IS CURRENTLY not available in more than a third of US states due to new age-verification laws. Last week, two Republican senators introduced a bill that could ban pornography across the country. The looming threat on the industry was not lost on some of the biggest names in the adult film industry at this year’s Pornhub Awards in West Hollywood, California. In fact, it was central to the event’s theme. WIRED’s Manisha Krishnan was there and on this week’s episode tells us all about the event and how Pornhub’s story is at the center of tech and politics today.
