I dunno, the reaction to the anti-porn laws in Texas haven’t gotten too much pushback, as far as I’m aware. Sure, keeping kids off porn is good, but do you trust the Christian nationalist government of Texas to only define porn as the thing that needs logged identification?

I think it's trivial for people to circumvent this ID, no? So no need to pushback. Kind of like everyone going 120 on the highway

VPN use is legal in texas, for example

Edit0: I checked, as this seemed self evident, but it's seemingly perfectly fine for residents to use VPNs and for adults to visit porn sites on or off a VPN. Obviously not for minors but that's not the point.
