To be clear, we’re not advocating for minors to access adult websites. There are plenty of fully grown adults who are worried about the privacy implications of having their personal ID linked in any way to pornography, even if the verifications services don’t keep any identifiable information.
The good news is that Utah’s porn-blocking bill (S.B. 287) doesn’t actually list any penalties for users who bypass age-verification systems on adult websites. It does say that these providers could get into trouble for failing to implement “reasonable age verification methods” but simply put, that’s not your problem.
