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.
Seems pretty easy to work around.
If a porn site has 10,000 videos, just add 2,501 non porn videos (just use public domain stuff) and make a button to hide those. Scale those numbers up/down as needed.
No, they’d need 30,001 non-porn videos.
This is Ryan Creamer’s time to shine.
Are there even that many NON-porn videos on the internet?
Yes, but they’re of cats.
Yo dawg, I heard you like pussy
Hell, keep the cat videos and remove the porn. Everybody loves cats.
Paraphrased from a wise man on an old TV show (Scrubs):
Dr Cox: If they removed porn from the internet, there would only be one website left: www.BringBackThePorn.com
Not everyone
Everybody but Tim loves cats. And the internet hates Tim.
The internet is full of blanket statements, not everyone loves cats. Tim has a love/hate relationship with cats, just like people some are sweet but they are all assholes.
What do you mean “But”? Its definitely an “And” scenario. Cat videos are a boon to all involved
Perfect! This site contains 100% pussy!
Time to make and market a package of 30,000 10 frame long 100 pixel x 100 pixel random videos.
Well, there are a ton of non-porn pet videos.
Edibles and math don’t mix for me, lol
Still, just host 30,001 public domain videos or let some LLM generate videos automatically to keep the ratio in check.
I’m all about malicious compliance for stupid laws like this.
(emphasis mine)
They can host as many non-porn videos as they want but it doesn’t matter if people aren’t watching those videos. For every webpage with porn, they’d have to force the user to visit three webpages without porn first.
Doesn’t say how long the view time was. Just set 3 quick page redirects before rendering adult content
In other words, you’ll be forced to watch three videos that you don’t want to see, in order to see one that you do.
Sounds so familiar…
Doesn’t say “viewed by humans in any calendar month”, so there’s still a loophole.
So all PornHub has to do is set internal policy to not not release and viewership data to any external entity, then pull a Spotify and launch a “Learning Platform”.?
Might want to check your math. 25% is the maximum porn content allowed.
You’d need 10,000 videos with +7,500 of them being non-porn to not be fined under this law.
Lol, yeah. Had it backwards.
