The anti gay part is the whole point. They're not protecting kids, they're protecting Christian control over kids (pay attention to who's actually doing all the child sex abuse)

Going to repost this
They want to ban it nationwide
Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered

So, holding onto all those old Playboy magazines can be considered an investment. My wife can't argue that!

Article is pay-walled. Does it say how many legislators voted for it?
I highly doubt the democratic governor would sign this bill. Does it have enough to override a veto?
There is a veto-proof majority. Governor hasn't announced what she plans to do yet
While the Kansas state legislature is almost entirely Republican, they don't tend to override the governor's veto too frequently as they are not as lock step due to having all the power.
Without checking the numbers, this seem like the kind of thing they would let the governor's veto atand so they can use it against her in the next election.
Land of the free, y’all!
America is a joke
Why is the joke always on us (citizens)?
How will verification be done? Are they making the websites foot the bill for verification, which pornhub is super against, or are they going to make a centralized device verification, like how Louisiana did, allowing its residents to access pornhub again?
How is the 25% decided? Public content or private, like a Dropbox system? 25% by file size, length (how are pictures counted here), or just per item (would a gallery or picture be the item here)?
These legislatures know NOTHING about technology and how it all works and are just doing this for censorship and LGBTQ+ discrimination.
"Are you over 18?"
"Yep!"
I wouldn't be so sure, in some countries they want your drivers license or credit card info lol.
There are some sites I don't use anymore because of these changes
I'm 124 years old. Assuming the website lets you enter 1900 as the birth year.
I'm fucking sick of these laws. Since when was the "party of small government" all about creating literal nanny states?
Because they have never been the party of small government. You don't need to be the party of small government if you're the party of credulous rubes.

It always has been, just like how they claim to be fiscally responsible while bringing back trickle down economics to destroy government funding.
They have lied constantly for the nearly 3 decades I have been able to vote.
They take money away from education and remove laws/rules about lying. We're at the top of a mountain of shit built by conservatives and we're going to start sinking.
