Brief Background of Pornography in Tennessee
Is Porn Legal in Tennessee?
As with all U.S. states, pornography is legal for sale, distribution, or viewing in Tennessee.
However, the state has laws requiring age verification for pornographic apps and websites to prevent minors from accessing it. The laws extends beyond the requirement of a simple “Are You of Legal Age” click or tap of a YES/NO button. State regulators require that popular sites such as PornHub demand ID verification before allowing a user to access content. As a result, PornHub and select others have pulled out of Tennessee. Despite this, users have been able to subvert gatekeeping through the use of virtual private networks (VPNs). Further, there are offshore sites that serve up pornographic content who don’t fall under state legislation. Simply stated, Tennessee residents who want to access porn, can access porn, even without ID.
