Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn

This is good.
It gives smaller porn sites a chance to compete with the big dogs because regulators can’t go after all of them.

Amusingly, as part of similar laws in the UK the regulator decided to make a public shame list of non-compliant websites.
Essentially if you don’t want to follow the government’s writ that you must send your ID to a shady offshore ID firm, they’ve kindly provided a list of websites that won’t ask for it!
With this on top of trying to claim extraterritorial powers against 4chan in the US (fucking lol), I’m starting to think a key check on tyranny in the UK is the incompetence of its public institutions.

Always good to have a list of what to avoid so we can all make sure we avoid them.

The regulator truly believes they are on the side of good, and that everyone agrees with them, except the nasty pornmongers.
