US Pornography websites must now verify user ages after Arizona governor signs bill into law - Multiple other states have passed similar legislation, although not without facing lawsuits arguing that the requirements violate free speech rights ensured by the First Amendment.

Arizona law will soon require pornography websites to verify a user’s age before granting access.

Gov. Katie Hobbs signed it into law on Tuesday amid a slew of legislative actions.

The law will require websites where more than one-third of the content is pornographic to use “reasonable” age verification methods to ensure that users are at least 18 years old.

Republican State Rep. Nick Kupper, who sponsored House Bill 2112, said the law will hold adult websites responsible if they fail to protect children.

“Arizona families have had enough,” Kupper said in a Tuesday announcement. “Hardcore pornography has been just one click away from kids for too long, and the companies behind it have looked the other way while cashing in.”

How will new Arizona law on pornography websites work?​

The new law mandates that websites must use reasonable age verification methods that don’t store or share personal information.

Additionally, the law sets groundwork for parents to take legal action if their child accesses pornography online.

The verification can be through a digital ID or other commercial methods as long as they don’t store or transmit identifying data.

Pornographic websites that fail to adequately protect children could face civil penalties of up to $250,000 if a failure to verify age enables a minor to accesses adult content.

Multiple other states have passed similar legislation, although not without facing lawsuits arguing that the requirements violate free speech rights ensured by the First Amendment.

Then how will it be usable to identify that a user is an adult? Are they just bringing back "are you 18" pop-ups?

Spoiler: They won't, they'll just block access to those states because it's unfeasible.

I guess this is one of those times when it pays to live in a blue state. At least I can jerk off to porn in the privacy of my own home without having to hand over my loicense.

The Republicans can't help themselves. They have to lose. They can't stand victory. They aren't happy with all the young male votes Trump managed to get them. Porn doesn't come to you as soon as you open your browser. You have to go looking for it. I doubt there is anyone under the age of 13 or 14 looking for porn on the internet. When teenagers reach a certain age they become very interested in the opposite sex and sexual intercourse. You aren't going to stop this. If a 50 year old Gen X Boomer can find porn on the internet then a horny teenage boy definitely can. Moral fags and prude fags won't stop them. If there is a will and this is a very strong will there is a way.

I live in a shitty blue state. It might be a shitty blue state but at least I don't have to hand over my license take pictures of it or scan it to access a porn site. I can do as I please as adults should. I shouldn't have to give some shitty porn site an ID to access porn.

The bill obliges porn sites to show a "Are You 18?" popup before entering. No one's coom is affected by this at all.

This seems to target porn that no one under 30 actually uses compared to Snapchat, Discord, WhatsApp, etc. Great some old dudes will need to verify their age to access Brazzers, meanwhile Holden age 12 is freely accessing Hungarian fart fetish videos his friends shared with him.

That's how Faceparty virtually died as a site - in 2006, they brought in a 'no over 30s' law because of allegations that paedophiles were talking to underage kids there despite:

1) Faceparty being 'only open to people 16 years of age or more'
2) Under 16s had no business using the site in the first place.

As a result, they Myspace'd themselves into irrelevancy.

Funny that Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, would sign this

Her state is next to Utah. We passed a similar bill. Nothing bad has really happened. They're making a mirror

looking forward to the new RecipeHub site that has five million AI generated recipes to compliment their robust pornography section

 

[Hitman One]

You got a licence for that pornography, you fat cunts?

 

[Yamaha YM2612]

And just how are they going to enforce an Arizona law against sites run by jews in other states, or even in other countries?

The site is blocked in those states

Florida and Texas already have this.

Hahaha. VPN goes BRRRRRTTT.

“Arizona families have had enough,”

That's right, you've pushed them too far, and now they're willing to do anything! ...except supervise their children.

Additionally, the law sets groundwork for parents to take legal action if their child accesses pornography online.

And why should it be this way instead of the other way around, if anything?

If a child said "I'm texting strangers all over the world, most of which are adults!" any normal parent would go "no the fuck you aren't, hand over your phone." But if a child says "I'm texting strangers all over the world, most of which are adults... but over internet protocol instead of SMS!" those same parents go "phew, that's okay, have fun then Timmy!"

If a child went to the Video Rental Store of Alexandria where they have every movie ever made, the parents would probably make sure they aren't bringing Necro Skull Gasher: The Killer Bloodening (Director's Cut) or Sorority Sluts Gone Wild 3 to the check-out counter. But if the child goes to the internet, where they can find every movie ever made, as well as cartel execution videos and asphyxiation rape porn, all while rubbing elbows with enthusiasts of this kind of content and accessing it using a device with a built-in video camera... those same parents wouldn't even glance over their shoulder, and chances are, they're the ones who put them up to it in the first place, to act as a robot babysitter!

The problem here is obvious, but they'd rather build infrastructure to deanonymize the internet piece by piece instead of admitting fault and actually doing their jobs as parents.

Kids are already blocked from entering casinos, bars and brothels so idc.

A sex store can't allow kids and then say "well its the parents job to keep em out"
So, again, I don't see this any differently

 

[Hellwalker]

Well I know I can say that I don't care, as an Arizonian. Nothing is going to happen, as always with these types of bills.

I love that you used the video store analogy, when no video store ever has had porn displayed alongside regular movies. Yet again, coomers become angry and illiterate and start ranting about parental duties they will never actually do because they are married to their right hand. Unsuprising that it's a bunch of pink triangles too.

 

[MaxPayne]

Im glad the coomers in this thread are seething.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

That, and the sites who adhere to this shit has most major, cut down modern pornos. If you want the full versions, you can find them for free and if you were wanting vintage stuff you've got to look for it anyways. There's basically no reason for anyone to use pornhub and the likes in modern year bar amateur porn. But even then, that exists for the sake of advertising only fans.

Sick porn freak alert


I like vintage 1970s porn too.

I doubt there are any children being exposed to porn on the internet. Teenagers maybe but not children. The teens are most likely exposing themselves to porn.

All the video rental stores I was in as a kid in the 90's always had the "adult movie" section closed off in a separate room. Either behind doors of some type or a really dense curtain of beads. Block Buster was really lame and didn't even have a porn section.
