This will be an amazing fair use case if only Net Neutrality were still a thing.

Net Neutrality being a thing would prevent ISP's from making that decision themselves, but I don't think it would prevent the government from making the decision for them.

also just...go on reddit and find various peoples number to use specifically to get around it

i'm absolutely positive there would be a subreddit specifically for it

Looking into it further, it looks like they're enforcing the use of a state-run app that digitizes driver's licenses, so I don't know if borrowing somebody else's license number would be enough. That said, unless the site keep close tabs on which licenses have been used (which creates huge data security concerns, both for privacy and potentially identity theft), it'll probably be possible to use one license multiple times (that'll be necessary for using the sites from multiple locations/devices anyway), so perhaps it'll be possible to share it that way.

The wording of the law also just stipulates that sites that fail to enforce that verification can be sued for damages resulting from minors using them, which will be almost impossible to actually prove. If nothing else, the law only applies to sites that consist of 33% or more pornographic content (which actually means the major sites could exempt themselves by uploading two copies of a cat video for every porn one), but 33% of a site like Reddit is still plenty of porn to be "damaged" by and the sites charged with those "damages" can easily just point out that somebody else would have inflicted them if they hadn't.
