Ooh, a negative stereotype about a religion stated as fact! Now do Islam!
Wasn't there a famous incident in Australia a while ago where they tried putting some sort of advanced verification on porn and a 16 year old cracked it after just 4 hours? >

In the legislative hearings, there was a lot of discussion about very young kids (age 6-10) accidentally stumbling on porn by searching what they thought was innocuous terms. So I guess the idea is that the law will stop those kids from being exposed to porn. Obviously the older kids will find a way around it. >

It’s thinly veiled Christian sharia law under the guise of “protecting the children” >

The law being “prove you’re 18 before you watch porn” is hardly the worst thing those nuts are trying to push through. >

It’s about collecting personal data of porn watchers. “A list of sinners” in other words. >

Slippery slope and all that. Plus it guarantees to deal with political opposition. Just reveal all their porn habits and you've destroyed you're political opponents, making you the only avaliable candidate, thus guaranteeing an automatic win without needing to have a vote at all. Then eventually they'll ask the population to vote on doing away with voting because only they are the good guys and no one else. Yada Yada. >

“Are you 18 years of age or older?”
… yes?
“Welcome to PornHub!” >

More meaningfully, they now have to keep a record that they verified the age -and identity- of every visitor to the site who might have been from LA. And of course they keep track of what that visitor watches. They now have a list of everyone's favorite kinks, tied to a convenient name-and-address mandated by law, for sale to any interested buyers. >

VPN sales quadruple in Louisiana. More at 11. >

How many other places have tried and failed, making nothing but a privacy minefield for legal adults? >

“Please enter your age to continue reading about this cocktail recipe by using our sliding date and year options.” >

Oh my god those are the worst!
The most egregiously awful one I’ve ever seen started on the current date and made you arrow back one month at a time until you reached your birthday. Which meant you had to tap (this was on a phone) the arrow a minimum of 252 times (21 years * 12 months). And that’s only if you decide to  just the minimum necessary to get through, not give your actual birthday. 
After tapping a couple dozen times to confirm that it really was that stupid I decided I didn’t care anywhere near enough to tap over 200 more times to enter a legal date. >

Not available in my country appearantly... 
And if don't have a VPN.
Which scene is it ? >

When they go online/VR, Fry and gang pass by a porn website. A bouncer stands outside asking "are you 18 or older?" and a teenager dressed in an adult business suit says "yes," who is then followed by a younger boy who says "yes" who is followed by a baby that says "ga ga!"
The bouncer lets all of them in😄 >

Aaaaah good one ! >

House: "Why do they bother putting age restrictions on these things when all you have to do is click 'yes, I am 18.' Even a 17-year-old could figure that out."
Edit: This is a quote from House MD. The TV show. >

Its to keep out the 16 year olds who are too stupid to realize that. I mean if they don't figure it out at 14 do you really want to give them access to porn? >

When I was 15 I got a popup that basically stated I am now in trouble with the law for being on a pornsite and that the fbi were gonna come and raid my house. I panicked for a second, then remembered I'm not in the us >

Fwiw, it wouldn’t have mattered even if you were in the us. The pop up was just spam. >

Bing just became the most popular search engine in Louisiana. >

why would that be? >

It’s a ploy to get you to download and use LA Wallet which digital drivers license database app. 
Fuck that shit. My state never fails to disappoint me. 
You have to pay money to register you drivers license in the app because the app was developed at no cost to the state, and those fees go to operating costs…sound like a personal problem for the development team
Fuck all of it >

B-but we're saving the youth of LA from being porn-addicted c-cuh-coomers! It's a small price to pay for our children's future!
>A VPN walks into the room
N-NO, ignore that, do not pay attention to that! Eyes on me. >

"With Nord VPN, you can easily access your favorite porn from anywhere in the world!" >

Now that's a sponsored ad that's speaking my language. >


According to Schlegel, websites would verify someone’s age in collaboration with LA Wallet

I read this to mean, “porn sites will have to integrate to our weird state-specific verification system”. What happens when all the porn sites…don’t do that? I suspect nothing at all, but I’d be curious what provisions the law has for forcing websites to comply. >

I watched the Louisiana legislative hearings etc. for this law. The porn website actually has to verify the users age by checking with a third party organization that has access to Louisiana state ID records. The 3rd party org verifies the user’s age in real time and gives the porn website the yes/no. Neither the 3rd party nor the porn website records the user’s name (Republican legislators vocalized a lot of concern about that possibility, lol).  
If the porn website doesn’t verify the age and a child uses their site to view porn, the child’s parent can sue the porn website on the child’s behalf for a liquidated damages amount. 
I have no idea how that will work if someone from out of state/country tries to view porn in Louisiana. >

Even if the name isn’t recorded the ip address and timestamp of verification will be almost certainly logged somewhere by the app.
Just wait… this will be used to smear political opponents. >

Oh no, a system designed to protect children is hurting the poor politicians! One minute I need to find my tiny violin for full effect. 🎻🎶 >

Requires a VPN. >

Law was probably made by 70 years olds who've never been on the internet >

Today's 70 year olds were 45 when every American household had the internet. >

My parents are 75 and read websites at me like I have every web page on the internet committed to memory. >

5000% uptick of people born in 1900 wanting to watch porn >

Republicans want to take your Porn.
Also create a registry of your online viewing habits.
They should watch more 2016 South Park.
The revolt by constituents will make Jan 6th look like a snake fireworks show. >

Boy, if we only had age verification for all that religious poison they pour into children's heads, maybe we wouldn't have a porn problem. >

Oh, it’s r/Catholicism !
