    If you're worried about kids stumbling into pornography more extreme than your dad's Playboy, then just make soft core porn extremely easy to find. I bet you won't. Cowards.

      That's the thing, I first saw hardcore porn at age 12, because I had an internet connection. I'm over 30 now. Why the absolute fuck are people pretending to care now

        I didn't even need the internet to find hardcore porn when I was a kid, because someone left some magazines stashed in a field near my house. Kids getting under their parents bed and stealing their stuff also seemed to be fairly common.

        Same reason as every other "Won't you think of the children"

        It gives them the tiniest fig leaf of legitimacy to do fash shit.

    How is "content" measured? Views? Unique views? Size on disk? Time spent in RAM as a percentage of all RAM consumption? Time spent in a processor cache as a percentage of all processor cache use?

    Good on Louisiana for teaching its population better strategies for avoiding state surveillance, though, I guess.

      It's supposed to be a barrier for children. Like good for you you can get around it but the point was never to stop you?

        Right wingers always claim it’s to “protect the children” but it isn’t.

        It’s supposed to be a barrier for children

        To add to the other answer: kids will find a way around it, faster than most parents could ever imagine I suspect. Also once one tech-inclined kid googles it, he'll pass on the tip to other kids. Changing DNS servers or using a VPN is insanely easy, even for a child.

          A barrier being pourous doesn't make it worse than nothing. Also I'm sure ability to circumvent such a control is correlated with how ok it is for your development to look at violent porn anyway.

        Do they want that, or do they just want dirt on people to coerce them socially/politically/(extra)legally?

        Regardless of rhetoric or gestures, I'm not convinced that Capitalists, or the political right actually want a larger workforce right now because if that's what they wanted they know that the key way to pursue that is by reducing the cost of living at the base-level of society.

        I think this is more about targeting dissidents (or potential dissidents) & culturally marginal groups, than anything to do with population size or "birth rates".

            I think there’s an understanding in the ruling class that America has overextended itself, and we are now in an increasingly risky for America situation.

            I'm not sure that that is the opinion of the American Ruling Class. Like we think that that's the case, and to some extent the reactionary base of the United States thinks that that's the case; but the whole reason why Biden was the guy who got the nom in 2020, why we're funneling billions of dollars of weapons-aid into Ukraine, why we're trying to agitate with China over fucking Taiwan, why we're fucking up Europe's domestic economy, and expecting them to say thanks & ask for more. The reason why we're doing all those things is because the American Ruling Class doesn't think that they're over-extended.

            They think that there is still more gas in this fuckin' tank, because they gravy-train is running damn near the best it ever has for them, and they don't want to hear boo a-fucking-bout it.

            Like we are presently in the "Nothing Will Fundamentally Change" administration, and we are being administrated in that way.

            LGBT people, primarily; but otherwise more or less exactly what I said.

            Anybody who doesn't fit within the social & political vision of, well in this case the people in charge of the State of Louisiana (i.e. chuds).

    I think it's really weird that it wants your drivers license. In the old days entering a valid credit card number WAS your age verification. It'd be hard psychologically to have my name, photo and address linked to my porn viewing habits.

    I think maybe porn should cost money.

      Imo it's for singling out people looking at 'deviant' porn. Think they could care less about the children or dudes watching milf porn. If you're looking at man on man action you go on a list.

        That's my fear, surveillance state bullshit, I don't want my picture let alone ID uploaded to the god damn internet

        The amount of weird texts and spam calls I got went from near zero to daily after using my phone number for a 2 factor verification for an online game

        I don't trust shit these days

        Half the comments are saying that Louisiana isn't savvy enough to even implement this but you're saying that not only are they that savvy but they're even savvier to database people based on sexual preference. I think they aren't savvy but the porn sites are. Imagine a porn site blackmailing you based on your viewing habits and the state being fine with it. A public private partnership.

      I'm willing to bet this is some sort of intentional scam and that the lawmakers behind it have ties to the company that's collecting all this data and selling it.

      that's the goal. to brand you as a thought criminal. the imperial core is getting more conservative and reactionary even as they use their "social progress" as an excuse to do imperialism abroad.

    I didn't start watching porn until I was 18, because I didn't have my own laptop/PC until that time

    before that I would look at the bra section of macy's catalogs, or Victoria's Secret models online when my parents were out of the house

    :Padme-1: They totally wont use this law to ban certain content like LGBTQ "porn" right?

    :Padme-2: They wont use the "think of the children" rhetoric to ban LGBTQ media in the state right?

    Want to do something about porn. cool how about NOT giving more power to the most reactionary and hateful group of people in society?
