  Mullvad let's you mail them cash. As close to untraceable as you are gonna get.
context: "She added that although some personal information will be required, companies must not retain personal data after complete verification."
  Surely they won't. >
  
  Even if they do, it is secured.
  Even if it is secured, there won't be any breaches.
  Even if there are breaches, the terms of service you agreed to will make it impossible to sue them. >
  
  And even if you can sue them, you'll be forced into arbitration.
  And even if you aren't, they'll stall it out until you run out of money, give up, die, or any combination of the above. >
  
  Or you'll just get a check for $10 five years later from the class action. >
  
  $10?  Look over here at Mr. Money bags.  It will be a gift certificate to Block Buster. >
  
  I got a gift-certificate for K-mart, but only for use on items sold in a blue-light special. >
  
  My mom worked the toys and apparel for a while I remember when I was young. She would take me in the back and show me all kids of stuff like the break room and stuff. One day she got sent home early and I was so worried she didn’t loose her job but that 9/11 happened and my brother signed up for the army afterwards I think is what happened it was a weird time in my life… my life is so much more weirder now than I ever thought it would be…. >
  
  We can’t just click the “yes, I’m 18” box anymore?? >
  
  I’ve wondered when this would happen since before the first images could even download efficiently. 😅 >
  
  gilliananderson_boobs.jpg has finished downloading.
  Whew! Time to see what this is all about! >
  
  Good gracious, I'm old enough to remember when Netscape first supported progressive jpeg downloads, over a 1200 baud modem! >
  
  The last third of that photo loading over a period of several minutes made me a man. Absolutely on Navigator. >
  
  I'm glad someone else remembers those times!  And Navigator was the only way to get Progressive images, no other browser came close! >
  
  The first to introduce customization, like themes as well!   Opera swept in a year later to try and launch with the fluff, but navigator was my jam for as long as I can remember. 
  These days the internet may seem wild-west, but those days back then were the gold rush. >
  
  You also had to subscribe to an ISP (dial up) back then.  I used Concentric.net, for about 12 years, until they just vanished.  As did all the accounts i had set up with my concentric.net email :(
  I probably spent a couple thousand hours, playing Ultima Online (in beta, then production) even before the Trammel/Felucca split, on dial-up! >
  
  Ultima was such a staple of the time! I remember how much I loathed EarthLink back then in my area.
  Such a weird fondness for the tones of a pre-56k ISP dial-in. Horrid sound, but it was the gate to the world opening.

  Time for kids in Louisiana to start cranking down to nude yoga on youtube >
  
  Or just hop on a VPN and sign into literally anywhere else. >
  
  
  sign into literally anywhere else.
  
  ...and start cranking down to nude yoga on Youtube. >
  
  Please, we have to educate them, by making them crank to naked news >
  
  CSPAN but naked. >

  Isn't this the same party that despises government interference?? >
  
  Only if it makes them a target.  They adore it when others are the target. >
  
  Well, this should be eye opening. I don’t they know how many targets are in their own house on this one. >
  
  What exactly can Louisiana do to a website that isn't located in Louisiana, often not even in the US?
  Several years ago I owned some adult-type websites and I would get occasional e-mails from the government of Turkey demanding that I take them down because they violated Turkish law. Not that I block Turkey but straight-up take them down. Straight to trash they went. >
  
  I own a sex toy shop. I hope one day I get an email from Turkey, but so far it's just spam and the occasional product inquiry. >
  
  Doesn't anyone just jerk it to the bra and panty section of the Sears catalog anymore? >
  
  What's Sears and a catalog? Is that The Kardashians new line? >
  
  First, my kids hear a dial tone on tv and have no fucking clue what it is. Now you’re doing this to me. >
  
  Tell them that back in the day, when you wanted to use the internet, first the internet would have to call and yell at you over the phone. >
  
  Lol they also wanted to know why the Simpson kids had to be home at a certain time to watch a certain show. >
  
  "Well y'see Billy, when a television program came on, it aired that one time at a specific time and day. Maybe the day after if it's popular, or the next week before the new episode's time slot, but that's it. If you wanted to see it again, you had to get lucky and hope that the network would put it on as a rerun, and hope that the episode you want is playing. Also, you couldn't pause, fast forward, or rewind it. You had to check a channel called the TV Guide and see if your episode was playing later, then program your VCR to record it to a VHS tape. Only then could you watch an episode on demand."
  "But Parent Figure, what if the show wasn't on a rerun?"
  "Well, then you're fucked, Billy. If you were a fan of less popular, less profitable shows, then they didn't get reruns, or they'd only happen once in a blue moon at 4AM or something. In that case, you just never got to see it again, officially anyhow. Later on, people would upload their own copies of these shows to a magical place called LimeWire. But you had to be careful: sometimes it wasn't the TV show, sometimes it was a cartel beheading, or two gir- uh, a rickroll, Billy. Just one guy and no cups involved..." >
  
  You had VCR. >
  
  Oh no! How will I ever circumvent the internet’s air tight age verification systems!!
  -NO UNDERAGE PERSON EVER >
  
  The toothpaste is out of the tube at this point.  There’s no way to stop kids from watching porn >
  
  Was there ever? >
  
  I’m old from the pre internet era.  It was snooping playboys from your dads sock draw or scrambled playboy when cable first came out >
  
  Friend of mine was convinced he could slightly descramble by rubbing a piece of aluminum foil on the shield of the coax connector on the back of the cable box. He'd wrap a piece around it and proceed to slowly twist and adjust the position for the perceived, coincidental payout moment when a blue-green, smeared, distorted titty would be kind of visible for five seconds. >
  
  Isn’t this beat for beat that scene from American Pie? >
  
  Gotta love feel good laws that can't be enforced, and any attempt to actually make it happen leaves a whole host of privacy issues.
  From a tech perspective. A website has no one to enforce this just on Louisiana based residents even if they wanted to. You can't use the IP address to just target ones located in Louisiana because any border city may show across in the other State. And because a simple VPN to a server elsewhere defeats it. The ISP can't enforce it based off of physical address because, once again, a VPN to a server in another State or country will hide the traffic from the ISP and defeat it.
  The only way you're going to have any sort of anything resembling success would be to require the websites to verify everyone going to the site, otherwise a VPN will bypass it. And once you do that, there will be data breaches which exposes fairly sensitive information that might be used to blackmail someone or to get them fired from a job based on their search history. So there's massive privacy concerns there. And even if they did that, any site not based in the US will just ignore the requirements anyway.
  This shit is exactly why politicians should face repercussions for putting laws forward that are blatantly unconstitutional and/or completely unenforceable. >
  
  From what I understand from the article, the enforcement comes in by the parents being able to sue the website. Good luck if the website is hosted somewhere outside the U.S. >
  
  And most porn sites are, funny enough, at the very least owned by parties in other countries. Of course, they usually have US servers to make things faster, as most websites do. >
  
  The youth will have to get their porn from the woods like we all had to as kids. >

  Dad, I want a subscription to Nord VPN for Christmas. >
  
  For real though, Nord is the shit. Haven't had any issues. >
  
  I've been using expressVPN for about 3 years now and it's been great. >
  
  Private Internet Access? >
  
  There's a lot of companies offering nearly identical service for nearly identical pricing. Their sponsored ads on YouTube even all look the same.
  It's almost impossible to tell them apart.  Until one of them has a data breach that they claimed was impossible because "we don't even keep logs".
  Assign them all a number roll a 20-sided dice, use that one.
