The ONLY porn site that seemed to be effected is pornhub. You know the one that verifies actors to prevent revenge porn and showing children. You know which porn sites still don’t bother checking your ID? Every other one in the world.

Oh it gets dumber. In order to view other websites, in Virginia they want you to allow access to your webcam so that an unknown third party can determine if you look to be over 18.

It's kinda mind boggling to me because it's not like it's hard to find porn everywhere on the internet. Sure maybe some companies will comply and set up some sort of age verification that attempts to block minors. Other companies will do what pornhub did and just quit doing business in that state, but if a teenager wants to find porn on the internet they absolutely still will. You can torrent it, get it from usenet, or just type "boobs" into Google. Hell the Fediverse is already like 50% porn.

It's gonna require parents monitoring their children's online activity like they should already fucking be doing because there's way worse things than porn on the internet.

I'm tired of being penalized as an adult because parents can't seem to do the job of actually parenting their little shitstains.
