Where is Larry Flynt when we need him?

To protect children, Texas wrote the ultimate nanny state into law,
denying adults the ability to surf for pr0n anonymously. The state law
is not unconstitutional.

Not unconstitutional, but easily mooted given the easy access to and use of
VPNs.

The father will ask the pre-teen son to help him set up age
verificationn.

Wait for Texas to try and make circumvention of the age verification
requirement by spoofing one's location a crime.

The Illinois Secretary of State said that Texas attempted to enforce
abortion law by accessing Illinois database of license-plate readers to
see which women had travelled here for an abortion as those who assist
women in such travel are subject to state law.

It's the Fugitive Slave Act all over again.

"Adults have no First Amendment right to avoid age verification . . . "

We don't?

Americans have long had the right to write anonymously. Age verification
removes anonymity.

What are you writing while watching porn? Is it kind of like peeing your name
in the snow?

Hey! You watch pr0n the way you want to and I'll watch the way I want to.
