Why is it on the website / webservice providers to verify age? Shouldn’t it be on the internet access subscribers? Are there kids out there paying for internet connections or cell phone data plans? Parents are in charge of protecting their kids from far worse stuff in the world.

I'm worried about the implications this porn law could have on small sites/fediverse/online anonyminity. I'm disappointed in Katie Hobbs for signing this. I didn't vote for her in the primaries.

Oh my god a DEMOCRAT governor signed this??

Fucking hell... This is how I find out? Assumed AZ would be safe from this bullshit with Hobbs. Guess not. Might be time to just run the VPN router side from now on.

“Under his eye.”

Looking forward to seeing Republican names, addresses, and photo IDs being leaked.

i wonder what qualifies as "porn"

Me visiting me in 1998:

"So, yeah, the United States has fallen to fascism, it's all over but the shouting. Donald Trump is the President for the second time. Yes, that Donald Trump. Censorship is the rule of the day and the only major corporation to stand against it, taking a hit to their own profits, is the internet's largest focal point for porn, a sort of hub for porn."

"You are clearly demented. Get the fuck out of my house old man."

In other news plumbers are moving out of Arizona and into Nevada where the clogged sinks are more prominent now.

When interviewed one plumber explained how women's falling hair and men's sperm coming together as the principal clugged sink reason made their job, and I quote "easy as fuck, you just pull the hair with a wire and all the cum stuck hair plug comes out in one move" ending with a final comment, and I quote "fuck".

Can someone please ELI5:
Why does every site on the web have to adjust for every jurisdiction in the world? Shouldn’t each jurisdiction just be responsible for filtering/censoring the web for their citizens based on whatever batshit idea their leaders have?

Actually, I suspect the answer is quite easy: this way, they force other people to have to pay for their batshit crazy ideas instead of themselves.

Is there another explanation I’m missing?

I am surprised that "BringBackThePorn.com" doesn't seem to be registered to anyone and isn't already being used to fight back against these age verification laws.

What VPN should I get? I've never really been pushed to get one until now.

welp good thing Pink Visual shut down in Tucson, AZ cause....yeah that would have been awkward.

Food was great there though, lunches were always decent.

Phase 1 is nearing completion!

Now come to think of it, couldn't any website have dangerous scary material for kids? In fact, really the whole Internet could! In fact!!! Oh my gosh! Even your house could have really scary bad things for kids in it conceivably. I suppose we will have to put ID badge readers on everyone's front doors now. And cameras of course. We should probably even put cameras in the children's bathrooms to make sure nothing bad is happening to them in there.

Headline on Saturday: “VPN usage spikes in Arizona, officials baffled”
