Porn sites are not accessible in Texas as companies cite the onerous process and privacy issues associated with setting up age verification.
Poor argument by perverts…
Can I please have a copy of your federally accepted ID to continue to access Lemmy? There is content on here that should not be accessed by minors. Please send it immediately or your access shall be cut off.
^^ Also… we have no way to securely prove this information and what you access will not be recorded, reported, nor used against you by any and all potential employers. Police and lawyers included. Hopefully you haven’t accessed any information related to communism, as the red scare is coming back hard.
Privacy is important to many people, apparently you think it is not.
The ID checks will only make things worse. Like 4 free “tube” sites based in America and that are trying to be mainstream and ad-supported (Pornhub and ???) comply with Louisiana’s current ID check law while the 5,000 sites based anywhere else on Earth don’t give a shit. Most probably don’t even filter for CSAM.
Half the internet is porn. Reddit has porn. There’s a Lemmy instance for NSFW stuff. To imagine they’re going to stop teens from finding smut because the “reputable” site checks ID is just willful naivety.
Also, I realize the goal of the Texas law is to label anything GLBT+ as “porn.” I’m not the naive one in this case. But the arguments in the case aren’t about the hidden agenda of conservatives.
I have not seen the acronym written as GLBT in quite a long time.
I wonder if switching up the order more often would be a good way to remind everyone that every letter is a separate group of people
They probably aim to pivot to some technical issue causing them to retain user sessions with facial ids attached so theres kompromat on voters.
Be a real shame if your Trump-voting, anti-LGBT+ family and neighbors learned about one’s penchant for interracial tranny tentacle porn
Also, I realize the goal of the Texas law is to label anything GLBT+ as “porn.”
They may not even need to go that far. The age verification laws going around these days tend to require it for content “harmful to minors”, not just porn, and everybody knows Republicans think “anything GLBT+” is harmful to minors.
