The ultimate purpose behind age verification laws are to prevent people from surfing and posting anonymously, but they sell it as a "Think about the children!!!" initiative and many conservatives lap it up.
"I don't want to give my ID to some third-party government bureaucracy to approve, log, and archive my web usage."
"You must want kids to look at porn! Sicko! Pervert!"

Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Unfortunately if we are to protect Liberty, we have to protect the liberty of everybody, including the sickos.
Yes kids get hurt. When kids get hurt we punish those sickos.
We don't punish everyone by limiting freedom so as to try to kids.
When we try to do it that way, the sickos quickly find ways to get around those limitations.
Humans are infinitely inventive when seeking to do evil.
