An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

Seems pretty easy to work around.

~~If a porn site has 10,000 videos, just add 2,501 non porn videos (just use public domain stuff) and make a button to hide those. Scale those numbers up/down as needed.~~

Just add a bunch of junk LLM-generated videos to pad out the content so that the number of actual porn videos remains 25% of the total. Then just provide a button to hide those AI-generated junk videos.

Might want to check your math, 25% is the maximum 'adult content' allowed.

To use your numbers, a business with 10,000 videos would need +7,500 of them being non-porn to be under 25% and not be fined.

Lol, yeah. Had it backwards.

No, they'd need 30,001 non-porn videos.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Edibles and math don't mix for me, lol

Still, just host 30,001 public domain videos or let some LLM generate videos automatically to keep the ratio in check.

I'm all about malicious compliance for stupid laws like this.

Are there even that many NON-porn videos on the internet?
