> You can't intentionally show porn to a minor

Anyone can go to pornhub and see a landing page full of highly explicit sexual images without any kind of age verification whatsoever. How is this legal, if what you say is true? Is it just that they don't know it's a minor on the other side of the screen, so they can say it's not "intentional"?

Pornhub home page has a very clear warning before you get to anything explicit:

    This is an adult website

    This website contains age-restricted materials including nudity and explicit depictions of sexual activity. By entering, you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in the jurisdiction you are accessing the website from and you consent to viewing sexually explicit content.

    I am 18 or older - Enter 
    I am under 18 - Exit

I don't see that. And no, it's not because I have cookies from them.

Maybe it's geo-location dependent?

Not in an increasing number of states where age verification is now required.

Intent is when someone mentally commits to an action
