An Indiana law that requires pornographic websites to verify users’ ages — one of numerous such statutes in effect across the country — is being challenged by an association of the adult entertainment industry.
In April, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request by the same group, the Free Speech Coalition, to block a similar law in Texas.
According to the Indiana law signed by Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb in March, the state’s attorney general and individuals can bring legal action against a website’s operator if material “harmful to minors” is accessible to users under the age of 18.
In addition to Indiana and Texas, similar laws have been enacted in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia. Backers of such laws say they protect children from widespread pornography online, while opponents say the laws are vague and raise privacy concerns.
I think everyone should have to verify they are 18 to go to church.
Better make it 21.
Why not 65?
this will go away the instant one of these “verify” sites gets hacked and some GOP senator’s daily visit to 8guysblowing9guys.com gets leaked to the world
Can i get a politician to run on legalizing porn?
Porn it’s a big business…
And me too! Sign me up! When I grow up I want to be a pornographer. That’s my passion for life. That’s what I want to do as a retired person. Please don’t screw it up before I get my chance!
Fuck with titties. Dare ya.
Titties always win.
