Louisiana Law Requires ID to View Porn

Websites containing 33.3% or more of pornographic content are responsible for checking users' age. Presumably residents could get around that by using a VPN, though.

More small gubbermint conservatives at work

Nice to see when conservatives complained about the nanny state it was really just more projection.

I just don't see how the great minds in LA think this is going to work. I don't believe a State law in LA can be enforced on a business that's NOT operating inside their state.

They are going to import the Great Firewall of China.
 
I just think it's interesting that the great minds in LA think porn viewing is a source of the very many actual problems that this impoverished, uneducated, diabetic state faces and that this is what the gov't needs to be getting involved with.

This is what happens when you let Jesus take the wheel of your government. Just complete fucking denial.

No shit - driving in Louisiana is like driving on the moon. Maybe they should fix their roads first.

I know everyone says the roads where they live are the worst but…no. Louisiana roads are the worst.

though I would say a lot of that is federal/development policy that goes back generations and you can blame the work of the Army Corps of Engineers and the policy braintrust that decided diverting the natural flow of the Mississippi in order to help build infrastructure and housing on natural swamp and washout was ever a good idea.

LA has lost some 50-60% (?) of it's land in the Gulf, barrier region due to our stupidity; which is also making hurricane damage much worse for them!

But yes, they should actually focus on these kind of real and present disasters, but I'm not sure what kind of money sink that is due to how we've engineered water flow in multiple states in that region.

Obviously you haven't driven through rural Arkansas, or any non-interstate highway in Arkansas.

I have driven through Arkansas a couple of times but I haven't been to any super rural parts of it so I can't speak to that. What shocked me about Louisiana is the roads in New Orleans proper were so bad you literally could not drive a sedan around large parts of it as there wasn't enough ground clearance. A woman I dated moved down there to teach at a law school there and was going to buy a Prius like a good communist liberal and people who lived there were like 'absolutely not'.

I, for one, look forward to this being fully implemented followed by the data breach showing whose children used their parents' IDs to sign up for porn sites.

Or swipe someone's phone you don't like and start trolling illegal stuff. No bueno man.

Too be fair, all my LA driving has been in the northern parts. Arkansas roads are also far more annoying and poorly routed than just shitty, too
 
They could use this to track people's particular porn use. OK if you're targeting Child/Underage content, but LGBTQ+ are where they'd be most interested, at least Politically.
 
Great minds?! In Lousyanna.

Shitlol

I lived there for about six years. Mebbe ran into a half dozen competent, non-corrupt public officials. The good ol boys be the real admins down der, cher.
