LOS ANGELES—Cherie DeVille is featured in a newly published opinion piece in The Hill, examining the growing threat of online age-verification laws and the potential consequences for free speech in the U.S.
The article, "Americans Have Been Dangerously Misled About Porn Age-Verification Laws", opens with DeVille informing viewers that Pornhub is no longer accessible in Texas, one of 18 states where age-verification laws have forced the site to restrict access.
The piece outlines the high stakes of the upcoming Supreme Court decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton and warns that laws like Texas H.B. 1181 could serve as a gateway to criminalizing all legal adult content.
Though not quoted directly in the article, DeVille has long used her platform to advocate for performers’ rights, digital safety, and the constitutional protections surrounding adult content.
Said DeVille, "What’s happening right now is bigger than porn. It’s about protecting free speech, privacy, and the right to access legal content without government overreach. I’m proud to lend my voice to this issue because if we don’t stand up now, the door opens for much broader censorship. This is about every creator, every viewer, and every citizen who values freedom."
