So pornhub would rather let kids watch porn than comply with age verification laws
Please register your id, sexual preferences, and all your financial information with the government. We know from the history of governments this info would never get abused or leaked or used for something horrific.
When has an authoritarian right wing government ever used such information against its citizens? /s
I hate to break it to you, but teenagers have been circumnavigating around any law the government throws at them since the beginning of time.
This law is particularly ridiculous and poorly thought out. It is easily bypassed and only has potential downsides. It is ripe for abuse and it's insane anyone supports this level of privacy intrusion.

The absolute dumbest of takes.
All anyone has to do is say, "...it's for the children," and you just line up, ready to sign away your rights and privacy.
No they'd rather people not have to upload copies of their photo ID to porn sites or participate in a system where such preferences will be easily stored in a government database. It opens the door for privacy violation, extortion, public humiliation, etc for engaging in legal but socially stigmatized behavior in the privacy of their own homes.
What are you talking about? They are blocking access in those states. They are literally doing the opposite of what you are suggesting.
It is not Pornhubs fault that the kids access the net unsupervised.
were you never a teenager?
Apparently the dumbest one ever
What is with this fucking dumbass, disingenuous campaign on Lemmy? And I recently saw some dumb cunt arguing that blue states are taking gun rights away from black people, too.
You fucktards really expect people to think that you care about kids or black people?
I assure you, we are not the idiots.
You know they are not doing it for the kids, they want to know if you are gay. By associating people ID to content type they know what YOU watch.
It’s partly but not just that. They want blackmail and they want enforced sexual modesty for all adults. Porn is against their religion and they believe their primary duty is to force others to follow their religion’s rules. And it creating sexually frustrated prudish adults is a plus to them.
I'm just not an authoritarian. I don't like the government spying on us as it is. Why would I volunteer to give up even more privacy? Consider installing cameras in your home and give the government access to them if you want. Totes just to make sure the kids aren't doing anything wrong. I'll skip.
Party of small government!
What kind of a parent are you if you're not blocking access to these kinds of sites on the devices of your kids?
It's so easy.
Get off of Lemmy, moron. You're bringing down the average IQ of the entire platform.
Did your parents not have IDs when you were a kid? O.o
lol
