because those states have decided that those websites are illegal in their state

Not even a little bit. PornHub isn't blocked in those states by those states, and it certainly isn't illegal in those states. Those states are blocked by PornHub themselves, because those states enacted laws making it mandatory that PornHub and other porn websites verify visitor's ages. PornHub didn't want to comply with that so they just opted to block access from those states. Absolutely ridiculous laws, but we should get our facts straight.
