Hands are part of your body. Pornhub is a commercial website distributing age-restricted content. We already require ID for buying alcohol, cigarettes, and lottery tickets without it being a constitutional crisis. Requiring age verification to access porn isn't a First Amendment issue any more than carding someone at a liquor store is. This comparison makes no sense.

Pornhub is always age gated everywhere in the world. Because internet access typically involves you to prove you're an adult.

Just like the liquor store, verification happens at point of sale. Past that, all bets are off.

If I got buy a beer, verify my age, and then go home and give it to a kid, there's nothing anyone can reasonably be expected to do about that. Similarly, if I buy internet access, and then turn around and just give it to my kid, there's nothing anyone can reasonably be expected to do about that.

We don't expect the store clerk to follow you home and watch you drink the beer.
