Listen to the adult content creators screaming about this. This will not benefit users, and it will be extremely expensive for sites to implement. If this government handout to the companies making this "age verification" snake oil doesn't receive a lot of pushback, the people in power will wall off the rest of the Internet too.

So rumor on the street is that the big OMV data breach here in Louisiana back in July was caused in part by our digital ID system put in place that was used to log into adult websites after a similar law was passed here.
Debating on whether to stick around during the upcoming Landry years. All the protect our children from the library signs I see all over the Northshore doesn't inspire confidence in me either.
gods, yeah. i'm from the northshore and i'm glad that some of my old high school friends from the 2000s are out there protesting on behalf of trans kids.
it's a privilege to be able to pack up and go, and i would like to take advantage of that privilege in the next couple of years
How many people had to simultaneously pretend that they, personally, don't masturbate in order to push forward with a straight face a proposal to verify age by turning on your webcam
Also, there's two separate issues in "protecting kids from porn," and neither of them requires this. One is protecting kids who don't want to see porn, and an "are you 18 y/n" screen fixes that. The other is "protecting" teenagers who very much want to see porn. This is impossible. But an "are you 18 y/n" is all we need to keep up the polite fiction that we tried.
In Germany, the Supreme Court ruled the classic age gating inadequate for adult games on Steam and ordered Valve to put up a system that would check government ID on purchase and every time an adult game is launched(!). So Valve decided to just... stop selling adult games to customers in Germany.
wwwwhy. who is this for. who does it benefit to make access to porn akin to cigs and alcohol.
