Kansas moves to join Texas and other states in requiring porn sites to verify people's ages

Kansas is poised to require internet pornography sites to verify that visitors are adults. It would join Texas and a handful of other states despite concerns about privacy and how broadly the law could be applied.

In Kansas, some critics questioned whether the measure would violate free speech and press rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment…

But critics of the bill, mostly Democrats, argued that the law could be interpreted broadly enough that LGBTQ+ teenagers could not access information about sexual orientation or gender identity because the legal definition of sexual conduct includes acts of “homosexuality.”

    What this does is set people back decades in social and emotional development. They want to put everyone back in the closet. They think being queer is a kink or manufactured. The only prefrence is being honest with one’s self and others. The state Ministry of Truth will claim any site existing stating queers exist as a p0rn gateway and prosecute people. Which will be funny to see them lose their case.

    I hope this is brought up on 1st amendment rights. I hope the state is sued out of a shit ton of money.
