As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.
Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

There’s a lot of bars/restaurants that do.
I have literally been refused service because the only ID I had is a passport, and those barcodes wouldn’t scan into their system.
It’s Papers, please, and it’s fucking bullshit
They denied your passport? That is like literally the highest level of ID you can present! Holy fuck!
Tell me about it. I’ve also had security goons dive deep into my grandpa’s ID, that was issued in 1922, and give me a pass, so you know. anything is possible
welcome to america, the most fascist state in the world
Seconded; it’s why I put a removable white label over the barcode on the back of my license.
