At least they owned the liberals, right?
It must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it's like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.

This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a βmiscreantβ
If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that donβt give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos

Fucking Jesus. They did say they wanted to ban porn and this is only the first step. This will systematically destroy porn and livelihoods. Who in their right minds would upload a picture of their horny selves next to their licence to some likely unreliable site? Lower the traffic and you kill the shit out of sex work. Evil motherfuckers, man.
"Verification is carried out by 3rd party". Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.

Protect my minors?
About time to invest in a VPN
I spun up OpenVPN on a Digital Ocean droplet 7-years ago. LOL, no longer have any idea how it works, but it's $6/mo. and never dies. π΄ββ οΈ
There have been a number of (I'll admit, not high-risk) security updates since then.

Yet another republican tax increase.
Eh, I see it as a necessity in the modern age, it's politically agnostic for me. I run a full time VPN as a matter of privacy and security.

Depends on how much other media you consume. If you're forced to get a VPN anyway I bet you're more likely to start looking into pirating everything else, too

I'd rather go back to (poorly) drawing boobs and stuff...
I don't care if kids see porn.
If that's the worst thing ever, justifying this invasion of privacy, whoop de shit. Let 'em.
There's a lot worse on the internet. There's a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck's sake, at least with "four horsemen" excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, people agree that those things are bad.
It's absolutely reprehensible that you think it's okay for a child to see an infomercial
Let me child see porn or trust a porn site with their photo and IS?
The thing is that by now, plenty of adults grew up watching porn when they were minors, and know that this hasn't been harmful to them... so why are we even still getting laws like that, shouldn't voters and their representatives know better by now...
These people are not results-oriented.
I'm stealing that for the next time I have to explain that I'm being held up by a third party not doing what they're supposed to.

Yes, you're right. But that doesn't fit with their "think of the children" moral compass. Which isn't even pointing the correct direction, but good luck convincing them of that.
I feel like my compass analogy isn't the best, but eh.
A valid response to "think of the children" is "fuck them kids."
It's not enough to politely disagree. Some fucks need to be dismissed.

This will never be removed. There will only ever going to be more types of websites that have to use this
It's a lubed slope
I wonder if that'll end up being true. I'd guess these constituents represent voters that watch porn at least as much on average as anyone else. I'm going to go ahead and guess above average. They might get tired of this and push for change. But I'm also admittedly less educated on how our political system works than I should be and might be overestimating how much influence Florida Man has because he's disgruntled at having to jump through hurdles to fap.

Soon theyβll start recording you jerking it to cross reference with previous sessions as identity confirmation.
Well, they know what parts of what videos you watch, your favorite keywords, time/days patterns, location, I'd say they can train AI on that data

Can you imagine, training rec algos for porn sites on intensity of movement and facial expressions...
Edit: if this ever happens (and I'm 85% convinced it will in some way), I'll just start crankin' to financial spreadsheets and medication specs, keep'em guessing.
