The big difference between using an ID to buy alcohol and using your ID to access a site is data retention. I can get a drink by showing my ID, the person serving me doesn’t need to keep my information to keep an auditable record. Without an accountable third party auditing solution (some sort of accredited lab situation), I wouldn’t trust a website to take my ID and not save/redistribute that information for other purposes.
What is the result of this sort of regulation though? Now the sites which don’t operate in the US will simply skirt the regulation. What is Texas going to do, sue xHamster? Why would they bother to comply? Does Texas now start limiting the type of traffic allowed through the infrastructure within the state?
- paulddraper 3y agoNothing requires that they keep your info, any more than a bar or strip club is required to.
