Anti Porn Legislation

With all this anti porn legislation in Texas and various other states.
Is it safe to post adult content on Twitter?
Is it legal to refer people to porn sites via links?
Are bloggers safe posting links to porn?
Where are they drawing the line?
Those fines sound crazy high.
Any thoughts?

I have no idea… There’s a lot to take into account. Where you are based for example, how would they enforce anything outside of the USA? But I would think posting links must be ok.

Will be interesting to see what the “big boys” do, other than PornHub who blocked Texas last week.

Pornhub on their blocked page actually recommended something that makes a lot of sense, device based age verification. I suspect they have realized that doing age checks on all users would even for them be too expensive.

We have recently set up “blue check” on our paysites which is an age verification system set up with Nats. I do think we’ll be seeing a lot more people using age verification systems. It will be interesting to see how it affects sales, one bright spot in verifying age on the sponsor side is that it should reduce fraud and chargebacks.

I’m guessing you’re only applying this to traffic from certain areas or?

I was looking at Blue Check but can’t find any examples of prices at all.

Yes, we are currently only applying this to traffic from the states which have passed the age verification laws. The age check verification doesn’t happen until after they hit the join form and complete the sign-up process. The pricing is based on volume, I think we’re paying around .25 cents per transaction.

ok, makes sense.
