>Serious question: why can't Meta, Google, and friends just decide not to serve Arizona? I'll answer your serious question with one of my own. What incentive would Meta, Google and friends have to "decide not to serve Arizona"? What is the business model of these companies? To make you view ads and charge advertisers more for "targeted" ads. Having age (which ends up being ID) verification gives them more tools to "target" ads and thus can charge more for the ad space they sell. I'd say that these folks would be among the last to fight against something like this. And so I'll reiterate my question: What incentives do these corporations have for opposing such legislation? I'd say zero. In fact, I'd argue that their business models incentivize them to support such legislation.
