The LA state law does state that:
> Any commercial entity or third party that performs the required age verification shall not retain any identifying information of the individual after access has been granted to the material.
and
> A commercial entity that is found to have knowingly retained identifying information of the individual after access has been granted to the individual shall be liable to the individual for damages resulting from retaining the identifying information, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees as ordered by the court.
but I agree this is different from being carded at a bar where you can see that they're just checking your ID and handing it back to you. In the case of a porn site, you're left to just trust that they are deleting the records.
