Perhaps these legislators are addicted to porn and don't want their children to do to themselves the same they have done. Would explain their obsession and relentlessness to get this done.
It's just a pity they are destroying the internet while doing that. They should be attacking the companies making money from porn instead.
And by the way porn can damage your mind even after 18 so age verification is not a real solution anyway.
Porn addiction has been shown not to be a real thing.
People who believe they are addicted to porn view porn at approximately the same rate as other people: they just feel more guilty about it, due to being raised to believe that it is shameful.

I agree that age verification is old perverts addicted to porn simply projecting their problem onto others. Kids after a day of continuous swiping of tiktok and instagram want tattoos and bitcoin.
Which is why the age restriction would apply to "normal" social media as well?
Even better! Now teenager can legally buy bitcoin straight in the tattoo parlor one week after their 18th birthday.
Porn or social media or fake news destroy kids brain more? I can’t even tell
Parents destroy kids' brains the most.
