Age Verification Bill Tracker
 

the entire confederacy blocked yo asses

It's not surprising to me that the tracker seems to follow the Mason-Dixon. It's all about destroying adult entertainment through unbelievably high barriers of entry. I am glad to see states resisting; it seems like wealthy states are spearheading that.

Something needs to be done to solidify (1) the rights of adult peoples to view the content they wish to view, (2) ensure that parents are responsible for their children, and (3) allow businesses to conduct business and find ways to help #1 and #2.

I develop software that protects members areas through two-factor login authentication, so naturally I reached out to a handful of age verification services for integration. Mainstream prices are crazy high. I was quoted $1-3 per verification, and that's with a volume discount. My idea was to do the verification on login, once per account, but that was nixed. Three merchant account reps said their orders were to verify on every tour visit tied to a session.

It's much simpler to block these states on this tracker with MaxMind. It took the host an hour or so to implement for one of my clients.

I'm a little confused

What exactly did the Confederacy block? These States all have one thing in common, and it ain't exactly being filled with "anti-confederacy people" 🤣

The cult is real...

All of this will come down to FSC v Texas and the US Supreme Court...

It should be argued in the Spring 2025.

Other than the few cases in Texas, I am not aware of any other cases being brought against adult sites either by AGs or private plaintiffs in any other state, though I could be wrong.

If anyone knows of any other cases, please post them.

What do you recommend an adult site blocks for now?

Not Michael, but the list I received for a client came directly from the merchant account rep during compliance.

Which states ?

I would as do cerulean said - check with your processors... they may have their own requirements.

Any updates?

The Texas case arguments were heard at supreme court the other day with decision due in July I believe
