True. but since it's not about ACTUALLY protecting children it doesn't matter that it doesn't protect children.

I'm entirely of this opinion. Why put the pornographers in charge of who can see porn? Parents, do you job. Am I supposed to upload my driver's license for them to store somewhere? that's what some of these states are proposing. That sounds like a privacy and security disaster. And I agree also that this is not about protecting kids, but more about a grab for authoritarian power.
