Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed lawsuits on Tuesday against the parent companies of Chaturbate and xHamster, claiming that the sites are not complying with the state’s controversial age verification law, HB 1181.

I can’t wait until the list of people that used the verification system gets exposed, and we will be able to see the same politicians on that lists that voted to implement the law.
EDIT: typo.
FUCKING THIS
Companies should just publish the list as a form of malicious compliance as “proof” that the system works.
No, they shouldn’t.

This isn’t about protecting children. This is about a christofascist theocracy banning porn completely.
I don’t really understand how the state can make it the site’s responsibility to restrict access from their citizens. The site is not operating out of or incorporated in Texas. If the state doesn’t want their citizens to access something, it’s their responsibility to ensure that.
I think it’s like alcohol and tobacco sales. The state doesn’t place agents at every store to verify your ID, it’s the person selling the restricted goods that’s responsible.
Right? Among the many ways this is unconstitutional, the damn interstate commerce clause may apply.
So much freedom, you can’t even jack off in Texas with Mr. Paxton knowing
If there ever been a whole face that makes you just want to poke the person it belongs to right in the eye, it’s his.
Low-lying fruit? Yup. But fuck that guy.
These people are too stupid to use a computer and don’t want to look after their kids (they’re too lazy to monitor them when they’re on the computer).
This law is intended to shift blame for bad parenting.
I guarantee these same people are the ones blaming teachers for their dumb kids
What about Reddit?
“Say it makes your weewee turn blue or else! And no censoring right-wing commenters, because internet speech is sacred!!!”
Fuck off, Ken.
