> So, are states like Texas, which need age verification, gonna ask for it for X too?

I believe that the Texas law applies to sites where more than 1/3 of their content is sexual material harmful to minors. I don't know exactly how it defines "sexual material" and "harmful to minors", but I suspect that Twitter does not qualify as such a site.

You joke, but depending on how the law is written, I could totally see content hosting companies implementing a system where, for every minute of new footage that gets uploaded, they automatically generate 2 minutes of a bald eagle flying across an American flag or something.
