We should use the age verification laws to expose what some politicians are looking up online. They’ll turn this over in no time.
It’s why your video rental history is federally protected. So, find your nearest Blockbuster.
In January, Louisiana enacted a law that requires website operators to implement age verification technology if their site consists of 33.3 percent or more material on a site that’s “harmful to minors.” The laws typically define content that’s harmful to minors as appealing to prurient interests, and that consists of “pubic hair, anus, vulva, genitals, or nipple of the female breast; Touching, caressing, or fondling of nipples, breasts, buttocks, anuses, or genitals; Sexual intercourse, masturbation, sodomy, bestiality, oral copulation; flagellation, excretory functions, exhibitions, or any other sexual act.”
Emphasis mine, bolded: finally. they’re making religious things 18+!
Italics: dafuk ya doing over there, Louisiana?
If we can pass laws to keep kids out of rated R movies, I don’t why this is any different
Okay. Next time you go to the movies, be sure to let the theater make a photocopy of your driver’s license.
In theory you’d be right - and in fact PornHub itself wants better age verification. This is more if a “this ain’t it, chief” from them. On top of privacy and reliability issues, the Texas one requires them to have a bunch of pseudoscience about porn on their landing page.
I didn’t know that about the Texas one. Those “health warnings” are pretty bad.
You know that’s not a law, right? The ratings system is something movie theaters and movie production companies have all agreed to. Unless there is a specific law in your local jurisdiction, in the US at least, there’s no national (or even state, I believe) law that says kids can’t see rated R movies
