A Louisiana law requiring age verification for adult websites has kicked in, renewing long-standing concerns about online privacy.That includes services like Pornhub, which has started requiring a government-issued ID for access.“It doesn’t identify who you are.”Louisiana’s bill was passed last year, and it took effect at the start of 2023, marking an unusually severe step in a series of government crackdowns in the name of child safety.Legislators in several US states have declared pornography a public health crisis, and some have taken largely symbolic steps to restrict it — like Utah, which requires sites to give users a warning before entering.(Pornhub owner MindGeek once raised monopoly concerns with its own verification service, AgeID.)"
