Nothing will change. The adult filters didn't work 30+ years ago and they don't work now.

I see at least 2 ways around this depending on how it's implemented.

  1. Either update age info to be "old enough"

Or

  1. Use a vpn that has you accessing it from anywhere but Florida.

This is just one more waste of time that will be struck down by a court assuming it makes into law.
