For the commenters taking the question of efficient ID solutions seriously, you're missing the point. Simply put, this is an anti-porn bill. The legislatures are fully aware of the ridiculousness of the requirements--that's the po

It's such an obvious obfuscation of what everyone can assume is a permanent ownership of user data. As well as the assumption that it's use will be limited. There are no supports for user data retention in the ToS. Unless a whistl
