Administrators rawTOP Posted 3 hours ago Author Administrators Report Posted 3 hours ago The Supreme Court ruled a few days ago in support of Texas’ age verification law. This means that all the legal challenges of AV laws are basically dead. Age verification will continue and may get worse. In reading the commentary on a porn industry discussion board it seems SCOTUS has created a distinction between “obscenity” and “obscene for children”. That’s a big problem. All conservative states have to do now is make laws of what they think is harmfully obscene for kids and all sorts of content can be restricted - such as all LGBT content. Others in the industry think a federal AV law is next. At that point I’ll need to block the entire US. And with the UK being blocked soon - that would be an existential crisis for the site. There’s some debate in the industry as to whether the <33% rule (that protects social media) will stand with the new “obscene for children” concept - if it’s obscene how can it ever be OK? If you’ve voted Republican in the past 10 years - all of this is on you… 1 Quote

I need to assess my own risk with my site.... Most of the states have taken the approach of letting civilians sue the sites for “harm” to their kid. But some have gone further and are more draconian. 1 Quote
