Interesting. I decided to read one of the bills and picked the one it was easiest to find. Here's the section of the text I think is germane:
> A "reasonable age-verification method" under this bill means the following means of establishing the age of the person attempting to view content harmful to minors, implemented in a manner not easily bypassed: (1) The matching of a photograph of the active user taken between the attempt to view and the viewing of content harmful to minors, using the device by which the attempt to view content harmful to minors is being made, to the photograph on a valid form of identification issued by a state of the United States; or (2) A commercially reasonable method relying on public or private transactional data to verify that the age of the person attempting to access the information is at least 18 or older.
Some might believe this is an "I promise I'm 18" button, but I think it might not meet the standard unless either the button then takes a photo and matches it against photo ID or links the user to credit card information or so on.
I'd say the discrepancy is so large between the idea of a promise button and this that the comment I'm replying to could reasonably be called misinformation.
