Sounds like one excellent solution is mandatory ID check on all sites which handle personal information, right?

If someone was genuine about protecting data that is certainly much more sound both legally and it terms of its effectiveness than what these porn laws are. Just an excuse to hound a particular profession by interest groups.

Case in point, it pretty much has only stopped Pornhub from operating, which ironically had better data security and probably took content moderation more seriously than the thousand malware infested pages a search away. But it makes sense of course if the actual goal was to cause economic damage to the industry.

Like...at bars? All it takes is a fake id and away you go
