How long until it's any "adult" material and major companies aren't gonna want to deal with all this shit so instead of "add an ID to watch the next season of Fallout", it'll be "Fallout isn't available to stream in your state."

This is inevitable. And it'll go straight to trying to buy mature books and games online. So be prepared to either use a VPN to even buy and play GTA6, have to move, or have Amazon or wherever you're buying it block you in your state.

we knew this was a bad fucking idea in 1997 yet somehow, almost 30 years later we've regressed to pre-1960s levels of maturity surrounding sexuality.

even if you agree with this law for some unknown reason, the implications are very bad.

then books start to be labeled "porn"

then even bikini pics are labeled "porn" (sound fucking familiar?)

and now M-rated games are "porn"

then R-rated movies are porn

then pg-13 movies

etc

If it were in a DVD set and you were buying it at a brick and mortar store they'd require an ID.

Then have a proper centralised ID system. Dont rely on each system to have their own.

Anyway just do it like we do in the UK. To watch porn on mobile data you just need to provided verifiable credit card details once to prove your age. Yeah it wont stop the outliers but itll be good enough to stop most kids accessing it.

No, the US shouldn't want to try to follow TERF/SWERF island in regards to this.

The Supreme Court in 1997 unanimously invalidated provisions of a federal law intended to protect minors from indecent material online because it also imposed First Amendment burdens on adults. But in reviewing the Texas law, the 5th Circuit relied instead on a 1968 precedent in which the Supreme Court let stand a New York law barring the distribution of obscene material to minors.

Huh, I didn't know a previous SC already more or less ruled on this.
Can't they use the 1997 ruling to not enforce this law?

Only way for anything resembling parity would require not just IDs but live verification of IDs every time adult content is viewed, it'd be incredibly expensive and inconvenient and VPNs would still bypass it.

They'd probably just make VPNs illegal tbh.

But they wouldn't scan your ID to their internet-connected computer.

This country is truly fucked due to the decades long effort right-wing Christo-fascists have gone through to put themselves onto seats of power so they can turn this in some Christo-fascist shithole fever dream of theirs.

Fuck do I hate living in this country and especially this state.

Such a dumb fucking law. Kids have been looking at porn since time immemorial and nothing's happened.

The only thing this is gonna do is have Mom or Dad's drivers license tied to the account.

What they declined was an emergency request. As far as I know, no case about these laws have made it to the Supreme Court. They'll probably do the same thing, then.

I think you're overthinking what will happen. I don't see them labeling random stuff porn. Being Texas, what will be labelled porn is anything regarding LGBTQ+ stuff that implies they are people like anybody else.

all the people who upload porn now are required to provide ID proof to be verified

it's far riskier for them to provide that info than it is for consumers to provide it.

this isn't like phub 15 years ago requiring ID to view.

Some places don't card you if you obviously look old enough or if you're a known regular of age. Not sure whatever or not that's strictly legal but I'm not about to report not being carded when I'm 35.
tfw we're on the timeline where in the future the websites will just look at you through your webcam to decide your age

Add "voter suppression" to the list of awful takes you have.

And only 4 more pages of comments to catch up on. Will you get worse? Will you get better? I'll stay tuned, bat-fans, to find out!
