Texas court orders motherless.com domain locked after porn site operator ignored state age-verification requirements

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he obtained a court order cutting off motherless.com from operating under its domain after owner Kick Online Entertainment failed to comply with Texas’s age-verification law. The order follows a default judgment and permanent injunction requiring the company to restrict minors’ access to harmful sexual content.

The case signals a tougher enforcement path for states targeting adult sites that lack age checks, including foreign operators that may otherwise ignore local rules. If replicated, domain-level enforcement could become a powerful pressure point in the broader fight over online child safety and platform compliance.
