Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed lawsuits on Tuesday against the parent companies of Chaturbate and xHamster, claiming that the sites are not complying with the state’s controversial age verification law, HB 1181.

I can’t wait until the list of people that used the verification system gets exposed, and we will be able to see the same politicians on that lists that voted to implement the law.
EDIT: typo.
iAmTheTot ( @iAmTheTot@kbin.social ) 1•3 months agoFor the record, the law is dumb. But also, so what if we found out that was the case? The law is intended to prevent minors from accessing certain things. The law makers aren’t minors, and if they submitting identity to access the stuff, then they are following their own law. They wouldn’t be hypocrites in this specific case, so why would it be some kind of shock or scandal to find out they used them?
It wouldn’t matter apart from obvious security and privacy issues it would pose, if they were regular boring corporate politicians. But the porn was banned in the name of god and purity and other bullshit religious zealots like to use to justify their bad acts. If those same religious zealots gets outed as users of porn sites, they will quickly reverse the law.
TheAuthor_13 ( @TheAuthor_13@lemm.ee ) 4•3 months agoFor the same reason that Rafael Cruz caught all that flack (deservedly so) for liking that/ those Cory Chase mom porn video tweets.
Edit: it’s not so much that they’re “outed” for watching porn, but the hypocrisy of the fact when there are all sorts of religious politicians who wage a public war against things like porn on a daily basis. This would just be an ironic way to find out that they’re just about as hypocritical as we all assume (know)

Auzy ( @Auzy@beehaw.org ) 7•3 months agoThese people are too stupid to use a computer and don’t want to look after their kids (they’re too lazy to monitor them when they’re on the computer).
This law is intended to shift blame for bad parenting.
I guarantee these same people are the ones blaming teachers for their dumb kids

TheAuthor_13 ( @TheAuthor_13@lemm.ee ) 4•3 months agoIf there ever been a whole face that makes you just want to poke the person it belongs to right in the eye, it’s his.
Low-lying fruit? Yup. But fuck that guy.
