    Agreed. If not for the fact that these laws are obviously just a gateway to more porn restrictions, I’d support a strict pornography age verification. But because it’s coming from only the far right conservative group, I know where things will end up if we give an inch. As for your porn being traceable, it already is. Your ISP/VPN sees all of your internet traffic, and you’d be a fool to think that the government doesn’t have access to that info.

      Your isp doesn’t know it’s you. It could be anyone on your network. And if you have to identify yourself the government gets involved right away

        And I don’t want them to assume that it’s an adult, because I have young kids at home. I also don’t want them to be able to inspect packets to look for an authorization token or something, because that means my traffic isn’t secure.

        I hate everything about this. If they force verification, I will be installing a VPN for my household to a place that doesn’t require it, because I’d rather my kids watch porn than reveal personally identifiable information online. I trust my kids a lot more than I trust websites.

      There’s a big difference between identifying yourself to a neutral ISP versus identifying yourself to the government. In general, I’m not that skeptical of government, but this is one issue where I worry about the right wing loonies getting their way. God help us if it’s ever criminalized
