I can't wait until the list of people that used the verification system gets exposed, and we will be able to see the same politicians on that lists that voted to implement the law.
EDIT: typo.
FUCKING THIS
Companies should just publish the list as a form of malicious compliance as "proof" that the system works.
No, they shouldn't.

For the record, the law is dumb. But also, so what if we found out that was the case? The law is intended to prevent minors from accessing certain things. The law makers aren't minors, and if they submitting identity to access the stuff, then they are following their own law. They wouldn't be hypocrites in this specific case, so why would it be some kind of shock or scandal to find out they used them?
It wouldn't matter apart from obvious security and privacy issues it would pose, if they were regular boring corporate politicians. But the porn was banned in the name of god and purity and other bullshit religious zealots like to use to justify their bad acts. If those same religious zealots gets outed as users of porn sites, they will quickly reverse the law.
For the same reason that Rafael Cruz caught all that flack (deservedly so) for liking that/ those Cory Chase mom porn video tweets.
Edit: it’s not so much that they’re “outed” for watching porn, but the hypocrisy of the fact when there are all sorts of religious politicians who wage a public war against things like porn on a daily basis. This would just be an ironic way to find out that they’re just about as hypocritical as we all assume (know)
