The government does need to be involved when you're producing and distributing porn, though.
This law isn't forcing porn distributors to collect data on their customers and turn it over to the government. It's making sure distributors are verifying the age of their customers, and disclosing health risks to them, just like we do with alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
- notaustinpowers 3y agoThe way the government is enforcing the distributors to verify the age is the problem. By using 3rd party data collection agencies with an economic incentive to monetize that data. Data collection agencies which the federal government (at a minimum) have admitted to purchasing from to collect data on US citizens. There are solutions to resolve this (device-specific privacy controls a la parental controls in iOS) are probably the most secure and most effective.
