The bill would make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to fines, and lumps homosexuality into "sexual conduct."

An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

    How will verification be done? Are they making the websites foot the bill for verification, which pornhub is super against, or are they going to make a centralized device verification, like how Louisiana did, allowing its residents to access pornhub again?

    How is the 25% decided? Public content or private, like a Dropbox system? 25% by file size, length (how are pictures counted here), or just per item (would a gallery or picture be the item here)?

    These legislatures know NOTHING about technology and how it all works and are just doing this for censorship and LGBTQ+ discrimination.

        I wouldn’t be so sure, in some countries they want your drivers license or credit card info lol.

        There are some sites I don’t use anymore because of these changes
