Anything to raise the bar for law abiding citizens.

Wait I thought it was the parents choice and responsibility....

Won't someone think of the embryos that could be exposed to this smut?

Wait, wrong state. For now.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah these people act like the Internet is where you'll catch an indecent exposure charge. It's actually a network I pay a bill to access. I'm not paying for any kid's bills.

Pornhub should sue Texas for violating the Constitution.

Here in NC they are. Had to get a VPN so I could access the site.

Edit: I stand corrected. I was thinking of youporn. Carry on.

Thought they did block it. I recall checking after I read about it. In Texas right now and no blocks here. So damn crazy

Louisiana was one of the first states to pass that kind of bill. They will ask for age verification if you're on a wired connection, but not on a mobile one.

How is that supposed to work with stuff like hotel WiFi? Will they need to block all porn in their Wi-Fi networks?

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

They mean "mobile internet" not "wifi" (e.g. Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.). It's easy for them to detect the ISP and selectively block, since non-mobile ISP's are basically government-sanctioned monopolies in most of the country.

I'm not sure how it works in hotels. I guess it's handled the same way as home WiFi, which is that it asks for ID
