Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise. House Bill 1181 is an age verification measure that is similar to what we’ve seen in the state legislatures across other red U.S. states. You have an age verification proposal that is similar…

    Just ignore it in the same way you do with California’s everything gives you cancer warnings.

        Just give it another decade the air/water will take care of that.

        And Cali has some of the better environmental protections in the US.

      CAs warnings are designed to force producers to make a version of their products that’s less likely to kill people available (and required in CA). That’s helpful to everyone.

      The intention of this sort of warning label isn’t to make porn better, it is to build toward banning porn entirely. California isn’t trying to ban industrial production, so of course people are going to respond differently.

        In response, I restate what I originally said. Ignore the message and watch porn. Not sure what you interpreted my comment to mean other than what I said.

          Nah, I’ll just keep living in a place where we don’t make regulations to try to shame adults for having a sexuality, thanks.

              No. I won’t see the message, because I don’t live in a state that tries to shame adults for their sexuality. If you’re going to insist on having the last word, maybe try being right first, next time?

                Bro, why are you arguing with me when we are going to do the same thing? My comment is about watching porn, nothing more. I was already in agreement with you from the beginning. Why are you so easily triggered that even if you’re in agreement with me you want to argue? Look, you’re right, I’m wrong. You’re smart, I’m a dumbass. Feel free to reply with the last word if it makes you feel better. I won’t reply to anything else. I hope you live happy and sorry if I ruffled your feathers.
