However, a few have actually become law, providing the legislation’s supporters with some cheap wins that look good on the anti-porn resume, if it they don’t really do much to actually prevent children from accessing explicit content.This language appears to borrowed from the UK’s disastrous porn filter legislation, which proposed the same cutoff line while similarly being vague about how the porn percentage of sites would be determined.Pornography contributes to the hyper-sexualization of teens and prepubescent children and may lead to low self-esteem, body image disorders, an increase in problematic sexual activity at younger ages, and increased desire among adolescents to engage in risky sexual behavior.It’s a smokescreen that allows prudish legislators to hide their desire to control what content even adults can consume (by raising state-sponsored barriers) behind statements about concerns for the health and well-being of constituents.The law may prevent sites required to verify the ages of visitors from collecting or storing credentials/personal info used for verification, but the author of the bill thinks the easiest way to verify age is to run it through a verification app created by a private company in partnership with the Louisiana government."
