Porn sites are not accessible in Texas as companies cite the onerous process and privacy issues associated with setting up age verification.

    Yes. There are downsides such as privacy issues, but if it were to pass, it would give those types of sites, potentially some opportunities they wouldn’t have had before regarding official apps on appstores and just more legality assurance when a user is using them. It’s really a back and forth issue.

      It really won’t. Apple doesn’t let any adult content of any kind on it, it’s a hard no. The playstore is likely similar but I honestly don’t know.

      It has nothing to do with the fact that minors might get to it, and everything to do with image.

        Regarding image, the question might be, would nsfw sites with Id checks be a step up regarding image to Apple and Google Play. Many of these types of sites don’t currently require a credit card, or any real age verification at all, usually very minimally. When any do require, it’s for users In select locations.
