It’s all in the phrasing

[jacknhoo]

That’s awesome news.

I would bet that a VPN will circumvent the ban.

Good news for the citizens of Texas.

I have mixed feelings on these types of laws. For one, I oppose third-party age verification that removes anonymity. I believe these have unintended consequences. PornHub today, Twitter tomorrow, which is why Governor DeSantis wisely vetoed Florida's ban on social media use for minors.

On the other hand, I also believe that unlimited, unrestricted access to hardcore pornography is harmful to children.

Anyhow, it's a feel-good, do-nothing law as there's a vast number of porn servers located outside the United States that will snub their nose at Texas. Porn will continue to be easily accessible.

A frustrated Texas was not available for comment…

Hat tip to Garret Morris.

So much for the First Amendment.

And the people of Texas say, “Good riddance!”

[LastDayz]

Well..... it’s back to the little whorehouse for Texas.

Not rejection of age verification laws. Recognizing that those laws are written with zero understanding of technology and are impossible to follow. So they officially block the state, and users are already probably connecting with VPN, and nothing actually changes.
