I am so glad that they are making great progress for true age verification against porn websites in America!
I am so glad that they are making great progress for true age verification against porn websites in America! This should be done in 2003, sad to see it being done in 2023.
There has been a lot ups and downs in UK (UK is the first western country to propose such laws in early 2010s) , hope US can do faster and better!

Some say that age verification against porn websites will invade the privacy, this is totally a bull shit!
Some say that age verification can be bypassed easily through VPN. This is true, but I don’t believe a 8-year-old can use VPN fluently, maybe a 15-year-old can. For me, I started to use when I was 20.
This is such a happy day!
The porn industry has hit a wall, there won’t be much more explicit stimulation than pornographic videos for decades to come (Of course new technologies like VR and AIGC can be used to produce porn, but they are not much more provocative than porn videos). Although our generation is raised on porn, the change in western countries can benefit children in the next few decades!
