In what feels like a rare #privacy win:
"A.B. 3080 would have required an age verification system, most likely a scanned uploaded government-issued ID, to be erected for any website that had more than 33% “sexually explicit” content. The proposal did not, and could not have, differentiated between sites that are largely graphic sexual content and a huge array of sites that have some content that is appropriate for minors, along with other content that is geared towards adults. Bills like this are similar to having state prosecutors insist on ID uploads in order to turn on Netflix, regardless of whether the movie you’re seeking is G-rated or R-rated."
First, erected was certainly a solid word choice. 🤣 Second, they always seem to start by going after porn so glad to see they didn't even clear the first hurdle. Last, that 33% quantifier no doubt would have been a sliding scale or they'd have just continued to modify what was considered "sexually explicit" no doubt.
