For those who are wondering what this is about, several states and countries have introduced/are planning to introduce laws requiring adult content providers to age verify all visitors.
So far Louisiana and Utah have laws which have taken effect, Arkansas has passed a bill which takes effect this summer, and in Europe France is pushing forward with requiring "double blind tokenisation" age verification, similar to that contemplated by the UK's Online Safety Bill.
The Free Speech Coalition has filed an action against the constitutionality of the Utah law.
The UK's Children's Safety Commissioner has called out Twitter as the source most young people are using to access adult content, and Reddit has also been flagged as a largely unregulated source.
Requiring responsible paysites to demand driving licenses is not going to protect children. Cracking down on piracy and irresponsible, unregulated sites would be a much better use of resources.
