Some would argue that this is precisely why they 'outsource' just like mobsters do. It gives plausible deniability.

It's much broader than sex though:

Florida’s law is HB3. The law is broad. It requires a website that provides material that is “harmful to minors” to provide a means of “anonymous age verification” to its minors. What does it mean for material to be “harmful to minors?” According to the law any material that “the average person applying contemporary community standards would find, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest.”

I guarantee this will be used (or at least attempted) to silence political speech critical of local governments. It's far too easy to come up with even the weakest justification for why something isn't appropriate for children and Republicans have an army of useful idiots ready to parrot their rhetoric and convince everyone else who isn't paying attention to what's happening.

And more importantly, these laws are written so broadly that these age verification laws can be applied to any website that the state government doesn't like whether they host porn or not. CNN posts article about killings in Gaza? That's not appropriate for children so ID needed. Left-wing forum that's critical of the local Republican government? Well that's not appropriate for children either so we'll need to see the IDs of everyone that has ever visited the site.

I hope these laws get overturned sooner than later but I won't hold my breath.

Wait until you get an adult job where they don't treat you like a criminal/thief/moocher by default.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Chrome at work so having something like Ublock Lite available is somewhat helpful. I just hope it still blocks youtube ads because they're the worst.

Wouldn't this make your phone reboot all night while you're sleeping?

It's definitely a valid concern. In 2020, Trump had federal police descend on Portland in plain clothes and unmarked vans to literally kidnap protestors off the streets.

The last few photos I've seen of him look so ridiculous with that heavy bronze spray tan only on his face. Like they're not even doing the temples and neck. He's nearly doing blackface at this point.

Why don't they try announcing that Netanyahu is the new leader of Hezbollah and see what he does?

I'm guessing the inside of your tank looks just like this and swapping new heating elements in isn't going to fix that. Maybe try flushing it out first?

I'm surprised DeSantis hasn't required that the storm surge be listed in meters to make it appear smaller and less of an issue.

That's exactly what happened to companies like Red Lobster and Circuit City.
