Another "Age Verification" act ===> BS

BTW, I did want to respond to this but instead had one of my pet peeves hit and unfortunately let it come off as a snarky response, my apologies to any, including Liz who were offended.

On the topic, it will never pass a number of Consitutional tests, most specifically that it cannot be de facto censorship. Since there exists no reasonable way to prove age over the net - in fact even arguably in person - it will never become law even if passed.

I would not worry about it. Such bills are proposed all the time in a variety of industries that will never get 10 minutes in a committee only so that the sponsoring Congresspersons can issue a press release to their consituents that may be in favor of a certain position in their local area.

This bill, however, is so draconian that it barely passes the smell test as a serious effort at crafting legislation.
