Ohio Law to Require Age Checks for Online Porn Access

OHIO, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Ohio’s new law mandates commercial age-verification methods for online pornography to prevent juvenile access, with civil penalties for noncompliance, joining 24 states with similar rules.

  • Ohio passed a new 2025 law requiring online pornography providers to verify customers are adults before access is granted.
  • This law follows similar measures enacted in 24 states since 2022, amid growing public support and legal affirmation by the Supreme Court in June 2023.
  • Surveys show about 64 percent of men under 25 favor restricting online pornography access, reflecting a generational shift away from such content.
  • Professor Jessica Ringrose said the solution lies in 'greater porn literacy,' while advocates like Keith stress consent education to develop ethical sexual behavior.
  • The law, taking effect at September's end, could prompt civil lawsuits for noncompliance and signals expanding efforts to protect minors digitally.
