Why are porn companies in a twist about the "age verification" requirement?

"OR does the industry think this is only the beginning and that giving in will lead to further interference? "

Ding, ding, ding

That's...not what these laws are requiring.

Legislating age verification (which is impossible for a porn company to do with any degree of accuracy) sets them up for additional charges when prosecuted for any reason. It's unconstitutional. And we've fought this fight before and won, but the right never accepts settled law.

The funny part is that the only way to have real, verifiable age verification is actually quite easy: the credit card companies. They know everything about you. The programming to establish a simple age verification flag on any account is trivial. They already perform this exact type of verification on every online transaction when they compare the billing and shipping addresses and zip codes. But you don't see state legislatures trying to put this actual, viable and trivial methodology into law. Gee, I wonder why?

Twitter should do that first. But obviously it's not feasible

It's just an excuse to crack down on privacy and control people. I'm immediately suspicious when I hear pious douchebags screeching about how we need to "think of the children".

R2 It's not?
