The Louisiana law is being challenged [1]
I don't get why we can't instead have regulation requiring porn websites to implement adult content rating meta tags, which most porn sites already do (look at the site source sometime). [2][3]
Then let parents use content blockers and/or built-in parental controls.
If we need even more regulation after that then require platforms to provide parental controls to block tagged content (which I assume they generally already do anyway?)
It's not like the sites that don't implement rating meta tags are going to follow these more strict ID verification laws.
In my opinion, I feel like these laws are not really about protecting children (which most everyone supports), as I don't see that they will meaningfully do so.
That makes me think they're instead about conservative political points at the expense of annoying adults.
