This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
We've already seen what White Christian Nationalists are doing with period trackers and data related to abortion clinics. Requiring ID will be a privacy issue, and it will be used against people.

You can't make porn go away and trying to do that is... Well moronic if what you actually care about is children's well being. Because to actually restrict it you would need to live in a garbage society. And our society is already garbage here damnit >>
The ID checks will only make things worse. Like 4 free “tube” sites based in America and that are trying to be mainstream and ad-supported (Pornhub and ????) comply with Louisiana’s current ID check law while the 5,000 sites based anywhere else on Earth don’t give a shit. Most probably don’t even filter for CSAM.
Half the internet is porn. Reddit has porn. There’s a Lemmy instance for NSFW stuff. To imagine they’re going to stop teens from finding smut because the “reputable” site checks ID is just willful naivety.
Also, I realize the goal of the Texas law is to label anything GLBT+ as “porn.” I’m not the naive one in this case. But the arguments in the case aren’t about the hidden agenda of conservatives.

It's just step 1.
Once you get the big players with heavy wallets out of the way, then you can go after search engines that list it. Search engines probably don't have enough motive to fight it, and the big players already packed their bags. Once it's no longer on Google/Bing it may as well not exist for the vast majority of people.
There was an article about one of the masterminds behind these laws that got secretly recorded and he basically confirmed what I just said. ID laws are the start.
They probably aim to pivot to some technical issue causing them to retain user sessions with facial ids attached so theres kompromat on voters.
Be a real shame if your Trump-voting, anti-LGBT+ family and neighbors learned about one's penchant for interracial trans tentacle porn

Also, I realize the goal of the Texas law is to label anything GLBT+ as “porn.”
They may not even need to go that far. The age verification laws going around these days tend to require it for content "harmful to minors", not just porn, and everybody knows Republicans think "anything GLBT+" is harmful to minors.
I feel really bad for all the porn actors in California losing their homes. I love them loving each other. It helps me kickstart my day every day.
At the end of the day sexual body parts are with us regardless of where we go. We wear clothes I guess to feel protection from the world around us. But out bodies don't really need covering. In fact we get vitamin D by uncovering our skin and letting the sun recharge our melanin.
