An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

      I mean Reddit has been trending in the direction to remove NSFW content completely from their site. A couple more laws like this would probably give them the ammo needed to say goodbye.

          And succeeded. Unfortunately, they also succeeded in killing their own platform at the same time.

            Y’know, post porn-ban tumblr has seen a bit of an influx of more “professional” type blogs and I think I’m okay with it. More and more podcasts and youtubers I follow are making and maintaining tumblrs.

            Obviously I would’ve preferred the porn not be banned in the first place, but given the timeline we’re stuck with I don’t hate where it’s going.
