The Supreme Court on June 27 upheld a Texas law requiring pornographic websites verify users are at least 18, in a case that pitted concerns about protecting minors against worries about violating the First Amendment rights of adults.
The court split 6-3 along ideologically grounds with the three liberal justices dissenting.
Eighteen other, largely conservative states have enacted similar laws in recent years as access toa growing cache of online pornography has exploded and the material has become more graphic.
I see. Yeah I’ve thought about something like this where you go to a notary or something to register and then use biometrics. People still don’t like it. They love porn too much.
There’s nothing to dislike about it though if it’s done right. Everyone would just have the right ID, and there’s nothing to worry about when verifying the age. The uses become much larger than just porn.
For sure. Try to suggest it to anybody on Lemmy though. They’ll downvote you to smithereens.
