https://reclaimthenet.org/arizona-enacts-law-mandating-biometric-digital-id-age-checks-on-adult-sitesArizona is set to activate a controversial law that requires adult websites to implement digital ID age checks for users, including biometric verification.Starting Friday, any site with more than one-third of its content labeled as "harmful" to minors must restrict access to adults who can verify their age through systems that may involve uploading selfies and matching them to government-issued ID.Under House Bill 2112, parents gain the power to take legal action against platforms that fail to comply.They can seek $10,000 in damages for each day a site remains accessible to minors without proper screening. Courts may also issue fines of up to $250,000 if a lack of verification leads to a minor accessing the content.While supporters frame the measure as a necessary step to keep children away from adult material, privacy concerns remain front and center.The process of submitting personal identification data raises the risk of surveillance, identity theft, and misuse of sensitive information.Lawmakers attempted to address those issues by adding a clause that prohibits verification providers from storing user data. The legislation also imposes $10,000 penalties for any instance of sharing information with federal, state, or local authorities.One of the strongest responses has come from Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub. The company has stated it will block access to its services in Arizona, mirroring its actions in 21 other states where similar laws have taken effect.
>>1443097Aylo has remained opposed to biometric verification mandates and has pulled out of every jurisdiction that enforces them.The Free Speech Coalition, a trade group representing sites, argues the responsibility for verifying user age should fall on technology platforms or at the device level, not on content creators or distributors."There are far fewer issues in terms of getting consumers to upload their ID because they're not uploading it every time they're going to an adult site," said the Coalition's spokesperson, Michael Stabile.He pointed to parental controls as a more practical approach than repeated identity checks.However, that argument has already lost ground in court.In the Texas case Paxton v. Free Speech Coalition, the US Supreme Court declined to take up the industry's challenge, leaving similar legislation intact and likely weakening any comparable legal efforts.Representative Nick Kupper, who backed the Arizona law, acknowledged that it won't completely prevent minors from accessing explicit content.He admitted that some children will still find workarounds using VPNs, shared devices, or offline material. "We as the government are not making that call," he said. "It will ultimately be up to the courts to make the call."Civil liberties groups argue this creates a dangerous precedent, with the potential to suppress lawful content under the guise of protection.
>>1443097Arizonians, pull out your coom lotion and ready your cum stockings because I hear this will be overturned by Christmas.
What does biometrics mean? Can I show a face ID of my grandpa and then pass?
>>1443097So they're doing what Texas and Florida already have. Big whoop.
>>1443097>The bill, championed by Republican Rep. Nick Kupper, passed with support from the Republican majority. “Hardcore pornography has been just one click away from kids for too long,” Kupper said, adding that the new law compels companies to act more responsibly. The focus, however, remains narrowly fixed on adult platforms, even as the means to enforce it could have far-reaching effects on internet freedom.Blue Gov and two blue Senators, but unfortunately the state is gerrymandered to shit and retirees mainlining fox news get to call the shots
>>1443159Every older person I've come across has been grumbling and griping about gRumpf because they watch MSNBC.So, fuck off gramps.
>>1443173What?
>>1443097Shit like this is meant to remove porn from the internet outright. Sites either can't handle this level of verification and have to shut down due to being blocked everywhere, or they try to play along and then get sued into oblivion when one kid gets through somehow and sees a titty. This is how the porn ban in Project 2025 comes into effect. It's not the only reason they're doing this, but this is where that's coming from.We fucking warned you about this. You didn't listen.
>>1443181>We fucking warned you about this. You didn't listen.Shouldn't of pushed us to vote for Trump then. But you want that pendulum to swing further and harder, wanting to see it break the clock.
>>1443185>Shouldn't ofShould have gone to English classes, >>1443185
>>1443185>Shouldn't ofRetard
>>1443185unable to take responsibility for their own actions, the MAGA man-children run rampant over the freedom and lives of others, uncaring for the damage they do and bodies they leave in their wake.
>>1443185>Shouldn't of pushed us to vote for Trump thenWhat is this fucking abuser logic?>Yeah I had to do the bad thing. You forced me to. If you'd just kept quiet I would've never had to do this bad thing and fuck both of us over
I love how this exposed how you fags don't trust these porn companies with your information and to follow their own protocols, which proves the law correct. Pornhub virtue signals so hard, but they're selling all of your data. Social media companies absolutely love the idea of requiring ID because then they can legally sell your identity and telemetry without having to pretend it's anonymous
>>1443253>The process of submitting personal identification data raises the risk of surveillance, identity theft, and misuse of sensitive information.reading comprehension is hard for you
>>1443253Honestly it makes sense that porn websites should have to verify age, in surprised it took so long. Just because they are on the internet doesn't mean they don't have to follow laws.There was this same sort of meltdown in the earlier days of e commerce when they began requiring sellers to apply local sales tax to orders even tho they were online.Although this is a stupid way to do it because vpns exist. They should have instead just made porn websites financially liable if a minor is allowed to access it and left it up to websites how they want to stop it from happening, and keep finding them every time a minor accesses it
>>1443255>They should have instead just made porn websites financially liable if a minor is allowed to access itCool it with the antisemitism bro
>>1443255>>1443257That sounds like a great idea until you realize that's no different from just banning them from existing. Kids aren't stupid; they will find their way onto fucking anything.
>>1443255how would you do that on a site like 4chan, for example? the only way to completely lock porn behind an agewall is to completely centralize the internet and basically turn it into an interactive cable tv subscription. which i'm sure will happen in the current cyberpunk dystopia we're hurtling towards
>>1443258We do it for websites that sell tobacco products How is this any different
>>1443259>the only way to completely lock porn behind an agewall is to completely centralize the internet and basically turn it into an interactive cable tv subscriptionOnce again, we already do it with tobacco retailers. This isn't a new problem, it's been solved already.
>>1443263Yeah comparing the internet to fucking cigarettes is so fucking false it hurts>Yeah bro we should just subject newspaper to all the same restrictions we put on weapons grade munitions >They're basically the same
>>1443264>comparing the internetPorn sites based in the United States, anon.I know technology and nuance is hard for you but try to follow along.This is literally no different procedurally from how alcohol or tobacco retailers need to verify the age of their customers
>>1443265>This is literally no different procedurally from how alcohol or tobacco retailers need to verify the age of their customersExcept it's people watching something on their own computers, in the privacy of their own home. For free, usually.
>>1443274>For freeThis is the problemBefore the 'for free' model kicked in, you used to need a credit card to view this shit, at least for all the sites they're going after for these bills. The CC was the age check most of the time.
>>1443274I'll make this very simple for you to understand.Porn websites who want to be hosted in the US, CA, EU, etc, are going to have to bring verifying identities of people they wish to offer porn to, regardless if they are making them pay for a subscription, or offering it for free and making profits off the ad revenue.Maybe this won't all happen at once, but it does look like it's happening
>>1443281Everyone knew it was going to happen because it was in Project 2025Even the fake reason you're using to push it to disguise your real reasons
>>1443278Welcome to the concept of ad revenue. Also, don't fucking kid yourself that before the internet kids didn't just steal porno mags or tapes.
>>1443278>The CC was the age check most of the time.Internet isn't free either. A kid doesn't have access to it without a parent giving that to them. By your logic, this is like having to send in your government ID every time you want to watch the porn dvd you already purchased.Why do we have to sacrifice everyone's privacy just because some people can't control their kids?
>>1443294You're retarded. You can't buy pornography in stores if you're not 18 years old. You're not American and you're a jeet because sex stores in the US check ID
>>1443295Hey anon if you look really far up you can see The Point flying over you.
>>1443282>Even the fake reason you're using to push it to disguise your real reasonsWhat the fuck is wrong with you? I'm not doing any of this. I'm trying to get it through your thick head that it's happening and that requiring porn websites to verify age of viewers is not some world ending event you retarded gooner
>>1443298>that requiring porn websites to verify age of viewers is not some world ending event you retarded goonerEnding privacy on the internet isn't the end of the world but it's still pretty fucking bad. The government doesn't need to know every time someone watches porn, especially when their definition of "porn" can mean anything they find distasteful.
>>1443297Hey retard. I'm pointing out that your example makes absolutely zero sense because you had to show ID to purchase or to begin with>your logic, this is like having to send in your government ID every time you want to watch the porn dvd you already purchased.>A kid doesn't have access to it without a parent giving that to them.Which is exactly why these laws are being passed to begin with. Parents aren't doing jack shit, so the government has to step in
>>1443300>Which is exactly why these laws are being passed to begin with. Parents aren't doing jack shit, so the government has to step inAnd you don't see the problem with that? One guy fails to watch his kid and he sneaks into a strip club, so you decide to shut the strip club down? You're taking a right to privacy away from EVERYONE because some people are fucking lazy and don't watch or teach their kids correctly.
You all are stupidEmployee looking at a guy's ID for 3 seconds before selling him booze VS him uploading his info online companies scanning it storing it and potentially selling his data Definitely not the same It also never stops at pornID verification is already coming to Social Media Not to mention the government will definitely use it for Mass SurveillanceThey will definitely use it to introduce Digital ID and Social Credit Score No one will be able to say anything bad about the government or have an opinion ever again
>>1443299>Ending privacy on the internetOnce again you purposefully conflate "porn websites" with "the entirety of the internet"
>>1443299 >The government doesn't need to know every time someone watches porn, especially when their definition of "porn" can mean anything they find distasteful.Do any of these regulations require that the government be notified every time someone watches porn or are you just making that part up? I could of sworn all this makes them validate a viewers age, not notify government agencies that someone is watching porn
>>1443303If they decide there is one variety of website you need to hand over ID just to view, logging that you're doing so to the government and potentially letting others scrape and sell your data, there is nothing stopping them from doing the same for everything. We're already seeing attempts to enforce it on social media sites next; really fucking concerning that no one could even make an anonymous account and critique the government without the government knowing exactly who it is. You can't put the genie back in the bottle once you force that kind of privacy invasion on ONE type of site.
>>1443303It's the fucking door and you're a retard if you can't see it because it's happening right now
>>1443305How do they validate the ID anon? Who would they need to cross check the data with? And how do you know the site itself wouldn't keep it for their own uses, or be hacked to get a copy of every ID that's submitted?
>>1443308>How do they validate the ID anonThe same way gas stations and most websites that sell alcohol or tobacco validate them anon. They use a photo of the id read the pdf417 barcode on them for offline validation.Do you really think that every time someone gets their id scanned by a wand at a gas station a government agency is notified that that individual just bought cigarettes For fucks sake, boomer gooner, this isn't the stone age
>>1443309Yeah anon I don't know how to break it to you, but they can absolutely track that. Literally all it takes is the government asking whoever you gave the ID to and they will then be able to know all your purchases.
>>1443310>Yeah anon I don't know how to break it to you, but they can absolutely track that. Literally all it takes is the government asking whoever you gave the ID to and they will then be able to know all your purchases.Lol.You have no idea what you are talking about.If you are implying that porn providers will take the extra step to save all your information so that they can let government can see if you watch porn on their website, then you are free to doompost your conspiracy theories as much as you want
>>1443253You shouldn't trust any company with these details. The fucking credit score vultures lose your info. The goddamn government has security breaches. Banks, law firms, video game producers, google, twitter, random backend companies you've never heard of, almost every retailer, they all have huge security breaches and a lot of times they won't even tell you until they get sued and are required by the court to inform you that you qualify as a member of the class action.
>>1443312Your options are going to be:- give up porn - deal with it- use international porn websites - set up a home gooner nas and host and torrent all your own content.It's choose your own adventure.
>>1443311Anon when your ID is verified, it either goes to a third party (who can and do scrape that shit) or the government directly. Either way, there is an info trail because at the end of the day the system has to check against another system. All it takes for the government to find that trail is to ask for it. Half the time they already know what they're asking for because of the scraping and just need to do so for legality.
I want you anons to look up Youtube id verification news because you think this will only be about porn sites and they won't ask your id in every social media in the future because people were just ok with bills like these passing
>>1443314>Welp out of defenses >Time to just start gloating about ending all privacy on the internetThis is a terrible idea and you know it.
Honestly, I can't wait for one of these politicians to slip up and accidentally reveal what kind of fucked up shit they wanted to access but can't anymore.
>>1443314Your options are going to be:- give up internet- deal with it- or use vpns until they get banned (currently there is a bill introduced for it)Fixed it for you
>>1443317>This is a terrible idea and you know it.I disagree.
>>1443320no, you agree with terrible people
>>1443322These people are terrible for not wanting minors to have easy illegal access to porn
>>1443300That doesn't make any sense. If parents aren't parenting, it's not the government's job to do it for them.And that's just the excuse they're using anyway. This is just about control and ideological enforcement. >>1443299>especially when their definition of "porn" can mean anything they find distasteful.This is hugely important right here. Realize that the normie and/or puritan definition of porn and explicit content is much, MUCH wider than yours probably is, and it's only getting wider. There was a guy who got arrested a month or two ago for having anime pictures on his phone. Not porn, nothing explicit, JUST anime pictures. Ever watched Naruto? Seen any pictures of any of the girls? Well guess what, you're a sex offender, have fun in jail.
>>1443327No, those people are retards for trying to take the position that they're in control of everything their kids see, except when they can't be bothered to monitor them then its societies responsibility.You don't want your kid to see things on the internet? Don't give them internet
>>1443329it's only the nanny state when left does it guys, c'mon
>>1443330The left hasn't done stuff like this. No, not whatever you're about to bring up, this is way, way worse.
>>1443331oh my bad, i forgot about poe's law
Thanks to the Online Safety Act in the UK you even have to give your ID to listen to music on Spotify how insane is that
>>1443301>One guy fails to watch his kid and he sneaks into a strip club, so you decide to shut the strip club downStrip clubs get fined if they let minors into themSame thing here anon. The law isnt calling for shutting down a business due to a violation, you are just injecting your strawmen.You just btfo yourself again
>>1443328>If parents aren't parenting, it's not the government's job to do it for them.I think that kids shouldn't be on the internet in the first place but if they must then parental controls exist why are parents not using them and why are these parents not getting investigated
>>1443336Welcome to the liberal nanny state slippery slope. Feel free to do your Olympic mental gymnastics training to blame conservatives for this though
>>1443346do you larp as all white cultures, esl shill? can you give us a kiwi impression
>>1443346>liberals are responsible for laws made by republicans
>>1443229>Stop doing the bad discrimination thing to me, We agreed it was bad and stopped doing it to others. Its not "my turn now.">Listen, I said stop it. You are attacking a competent group with a track record of seeing things to their end.>Ok. Fine. *flips table*How could you do this? Why couldn't you just be an ally and let your group get trampled on AND continue to make sure everything is working?
>>1443354>>liberals are responsible for laws made by republicansunironically yes. If libs really are the better people they claim to be, they'll prevent these laws from being enacted. If they can't even do that, why vote for them at all?

I've got another 450,000 movies games books anime episodes etc.You're the retarded one that thinks either the government or the corporations are on your side and its not that they're fighting over who gets to hold your leash.
>>1443358So libs are completely incapable of solving Republican problems? You're admitting that voting them in would be pointless
>>1443347>do you larp as all white culturesLearn English, Ranjeet. Your ESL deflection makes your white envy obvious

>>1443371John Wilkes Booth and his handlers got Trump elected!?
>>1443372they certainly allowed history to be deferred for 100 years
>>1443370>Obama created HillaryHow does this even make sense to you?>Libs claim that Trump is the worst thing to happen to the USIt's factually true, not a claim.>Obama caused America's greatest low point.How so? Be specific.
>>1443387>>Obama created Hillary>How does this even make sense to you?This is shitty clanker bait, right? All of Hillary's crimes were due to Obama appointing her. Obama's birth certificate launched Trump's political career Obama endorsed Hillary for presidentObama's legacy is Trumps presidency Makes more sense than cutting off your dick and pretending its your ladyhole, doesn't it?
>>1443388It sounds like you were 10 when Obama was elected. You also have tranny derangement syndrome.
The Attorney General's Commission on Pornography released its Final Report back in 1986. It’s been sitting there for citizens all this time, yet almost no one has used it to take real action.

>>1443387>How so? Be specific.Obama was the first and last time I ever voted for a democrat. I'd rather deal with the republicans who tell you the fucked up shit they plan on doing vs acting pious in public and droning american citizens in private.I voted for Obama to shut down Guantanamo bay and to stop the banking bailouts. Instead both were expanded and continued. And then as a last fuck you he made propaganda legal for the government to use right before he left office. Not to mention Citizens United which gave corporations the same rights as people and got rid of campaign contribution limits.
>>1443401just watch, some lib is going to claim that Trump expanding Guantanamo bay and giving more bailouts is a bad thing, as if it doesn't make it even more egregious that libs are letting it happen, let alone continuing to refuse to shut down Guantanamo
e621 is based in Arizona. Just saying.
>>1443342Did you not read the sentence after that? Because it's bullshit, the entire "think of the children!" narrative is a complete lie. Puritans want to ban porn, the government wants more control, that's all this is about.
>>1443636>Puritans want to ban pornWhat the fuck type of cope is this? Are you implying that Katie Hobbs, the Democrat Governor of Arizona, is a puritan? Get your head out of your deep cratered asshole ffs
>>1443700>shill gets BTFO on other threads, comes here to stir up shitIts cute you're pretending Katie Hobbs is involved in that process at allDo you have any other false statements you want to prove your ignorance with?
>>1443700 The bill was introduced by republicans
>>1443703>>1443701Totally weird that she had nothing to do with it, public records show that somebody signed Katie Hobbes name to the bill on May 13th, 2025You think you should contact Arizona or something and let them know that it's a forgery?
>>1443700The right doesn’t have a monopoly on puritanism, retard. The right’s pushing for this ban, but they’ve got support on the left too.
>>1443724It was in Project 2025 and yes it's true that the bills have support of both left and right but it's also true that its the right primarily pushing for these bills

>>1443724>puritanismWhat is your definition of this word? Because you're obviously using it in a way that is wildly outside of any sort of widely accepted definition or meaning of the term.When you say "puritanism" do you really mean people who don't want children having unfettered access to porn and turning into gooners?

It will never not be funny that the right will tirelessly fight for gun ownership, while doing everything in their power to ban images of people having sex. They genuinely view sex as worse than murder.Also, reminder that Josh Duggar was a leader in one of those anti-porn crusade groups and is now serving a 12 year prison sentence for downloading toddler snuff porn. Moralfags who try to impose their puritanism on everyone else are always secretly the biggest degenerates of them all.
