Looks like Kansas will be joining Texas and other states in 'age verification' to access porn sites in the state.
Kansas may require pornography websites to verify visitors are adults

I can't believe how this is taking off, state by state. Isn't there 'parental controls' on most every device these days ? Why can't parents use these if there is a problem?

My guess is it's actually a sneaky way to monitor what sites you visit specifically gay or deep web stuff.

Yes kids should not be looking at porn but they're also shouldn't be a database of people who are held by anyone — especially the government.

Is this your first day on the planet? We are all on databases held by the government. Social Security, Credit reports, etc.
People can start paying for their porn like the old days.

R10, teens have been figuring out a way to look at porn ever since porn was invented.

Anyone who thinks that this is about "protecting" children is a moron and a fool.
This is to create an electronic trail to use as a weapon against people who visit these sites and get their usage information.

R14 doesn't know the difference between regulated and unregulated data storage, the difference between a data controller and a data processor, and probably missed school when they were talking about totalitarian governments and human rights abuses.

Ah yes, requiring age verification for something that requires age verification is = to totalitarian governments and human rights abuses. I'm sure when you get carded trying to buy alcohol you rage about your human rights being abused.

I have no problem with stricter controls on internet porn. You can't compare sneaking a look at a playboy or playgirl to the garbage kids are exposed to today. You won't stop it, fine. But at least you are slowing it down a bit. Gnarly stuff out there.

R21, the stuff "kids are exposed to today" is the same stuff I was exposed to in 2004 when I was a kid. Let's not pretend that porn has gotten nastier in the last few years and now we need all this creepy government invention. No one loves the idea of kids looking at porn but it's something they'll survive. I think a better solution would be to talk about porn in sex ed and how it's unrealistic and possibly addictive.

R29, if they wanted to protect children they'd fund schools and ban guns. It's about low hanging fruit, making the fundies feel they're doing something, and control. Plus when your candidate is a rapist it helps to try to look more "moral". Nothing the Republican party does is a real agenda or policy beyond tax cuts for billionaires.

Georgia is following suit:
