      Better to use republican politicians who have lots of pictures online.

      I was going to use a picture from that site for my mastodon profile, but I decided to use an mri of my brain. Since that is an actual image of me.

    Pictures of adult faces are really difficult to find… VPNs also don’t exist.

      Porn sites should just VPN redirect your browser connection for you.

        That would put the liability of circumventing laws entirely on the company running the porn site instead of the individuals that visit. It’d get sued into the ground.

    Between crap like this & your power grid, Texas does look terrible. Just like Florida, the GOP is ruining your state.

    It’s not like they have the means to enforce it anyways.

      Yet. Or the fact it is so difficult to enforce could be used to prop a reason for an even more draconian law. Something like banning it outright or having it have to be reviewed by an approval board. These laws are almost always stepping stones.

    The article doesn’t say anything about pictures of faces, just generic age verification.

    Follow in the footsteps of everyone in Utah and hop on a VPN. My VPN will sometimes throw me in a Utah server (adjacent state) and it blocks my research attempts so I just disconnect and reconnect to some other random server. If it happens twice in a row, I take a quick trip to Switzerland

      If only. But then who would they bitch to about the “migrant crisis” and come to for aid when their power system fails again?

        and the federal government pulls all of those nice money machines (military bases)

    The injunction was stayed but that’s not the end of the litigation. It’s really just the beginning. I don’t see that a written opinion regarding the stay has been published so it’s impossible to know the court’s thinking at this time, though the order does say the court will issue an expedited opinion as soon as reasonably possible. But yeah, the 5th Circuit is home to Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana and is where the GOP/conservative/right go to get favorable rulings.

    Interestingly, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Utah and Virginia have passed similar measures in recent months.
