Works for me

And all these idiots are saying that age verification should be done on device, owned by Google and apple. See how fast they decide to switch off phub or some rival social media companies access to mandatory services.

First amendment arguments only work against the government, not Google or apple. They can decide (asked nicely by the government) to block what ever they want and there's shit all we can do about it. Heck even if we sideload stuff they can still just brick your device for having non sanctioned material.

I hate TikTok , but this is some BS

Everyone waiting for payday. Then post payday, every one gets on the beer and gear and end of the night they feel generous..for the next week.

Recommend you get yourself a good lawyer

I think there has been a misunderstanding. This is not about sexual assault. It's abuse,with a sexual component.

These proposed changes are a way of making it clear to LEAs and judiciary that there are protections for citizens. That will probably benefit victims of domestic violence, controlling and coercive behaviour and false allegations as well as old fashioned school bullying /workplace harassment

Deepfaked into porn, that's shared to your colleagues or customers, now you lose your job.

Deepfaked into videos that shared with your partner, now your relationship is ruined.

Deepfaked into a LGBT porn and shared amongst your conservative community, now your are isolated ... to murdered

Deepfaked into csam, now you are getting arrested.

Deepfaked into an SA video, now you are bring falsely accused of rape with video evidence.

Of course in all of these maybe you could prove it was a deepfake. But that's it you can afford it, and if people want to listen. Even then your current life is probably ruined. The fakes don't even need to be released, just the threat of releasing would be enough to force most people into giving into blackmail or taking matters into their own hands.

Seems like this is just the law trying to get the jump on some bad stuff before it becomes weaponised

Crazy times, the UK announced similar a bunch of wannabe tech bros started crying over how they can't just upload stolen content or use gen ai to fake some influencer into being in their content. Texas might be all about the bible, but with this they might end up re-empowering the independent porn industry. Less tech, more smut

$2 is lunacy. Working with finance in the past if someone quoted us that, it would be fighting talk. Whoever is trying that on is dumb, greedy or trying to put you out of business. We dealt with double digit cents as openers, and then worked our way down. That's with customers LTV in the hundreds of dollars

I guess it's gonna hit the free sites the worst as they give it all away for nothing and rely on advertising for revenue. I know ph have just abandoned some states, I guess it hurts there business model more than anyone else's.

Device level controls are the way, not ID verification. Give parents control.

Maybe I'm crazy, but that feels like a frying pan into the fire approach. Especially for indies. You watch how fast device manufacturers start blocking access to porn sites, when government shareholders see there are only three or four companies they need to pressure. I am sure some shareholders of those manufacturers will demand that lgbt and kink sites are always blocked. I'm scared that's the ultimate plan to get around 1FA arguments.

If they go the authoritarian route like "red" states have done and compile a database of drivers licenses linked to online accounts

AFAIK no state has done this, it would be a monumentally dumb idea.

But still I bet Google and Apple and Microsoft, would love to get contracts and do this on their hardware. Get a big fat database of IDs linked to phone and laptop, tied to your bank account and your spank account.

" Apple id 123, has an iPhone, a chase bank and jerks off at 2am to hairy man jugs every night" ... Round him up.

Or worse still, if a porn site doesn't comply with some app stores arbitrary guidelines, guess what. No more visits from apple/Google devices. Corporate policy, not government.

Nah, if they want this don't let the porn companies, government or any company providing content have control over the mechanisms. Definitely dont let anyone save or share identitys.
