Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of "protecting children" but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography
And by funny obviously I mean horrifying
In a state that recently tried removing a bunch of child labor laws.
Wait that's a good point.
If a child works as a porn actor/ess in Florida would they have had protections from the state?
Actually I don't want to know the answer

They have no idea what kids are capable of overcoming to access porn.

Probably a dumb question, but if the website servers aren't physically located in Florida, why must the websites follow Florida law?
State prosecution argues if there's access in Florida, the site must follow their laws. These sites need to georestrict access and should have done it the day law went into effect.
This is like me saying I have a bucket of books that are illegal in your state but legal in mine. You come to my state and take the books back to yours. Who broke the law?
Good luck trying to find any rational in these legislations, there is none. I can still search for "sexy naked sex" and get thousands of explict image results from google in FL. The laws are not protecting kids, but they are embarrassing legal aged adults and putting sites and creators that previously tried to cooperate out of business.
Edit - hell, the fact reddit and X are somehow exempt should say everything. Sites that kids would visit for totally non-explicit purposes and end up exposed to top trending titties.

Easier to target the few dozen major sources than the millions of users for now. But I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. They're not setting up a shop in Florida. They're in entirely different places around the world and Floridians are virtually knocking on their door and taking their digital packages with them back to Florida. Why would the onus be on the server to police the laws local to each client?

Prelude to a closed (north korea/russia style) internet?
Don't forget China-style. But yes.
Girls gone wild is still in activity? Didn't they lost the lawsuit for coercing all those girls and even have some minor in their videos?
Fuck them
I did a bit of googling as you unlocked that memory, but it's actually Girls Do Porn.
If anyone hasn't heard of them, you can read about it here https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/jane-does-v-girlsdoporn-how-22-millennial-women-brought-down-a-porn-empire/
It's absolutely horrendous and I feel incredibly sorry for these women. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable watching porn for a while.

Solution:
Make a site only available in [insert a privacy-respecting country]
Then anyone else gets redirected to a "This website is not available in your country, please use a VPN and set it to [country]"
???
Profit?
Band-aid for a gun shot wound.
We need to make the very politicians, activists, etc., who made these kinds of laws possible to fear for their lives.

Should be worried about Trump being a child rapist and the Epstein files.

Unrelated to the article itself, but god fucking damn is that website absolutely absurd. It looks like a shitty campaign website. The sad sad man changed the seal of the office and put an eagle (because books are lame I guess) and "free state of florida" at the bottom like that's a real thing. Can't believe this works on people.
xvideo is affiliate of ph, or at elast its parent company. the other 2 are probably the same too. quite interesting florida gop has to go out of thier way to find the more obscure sites mentioned.
