Ohio is the latest state to consider passing laws that would require pornographic websites to implement digital age assurance measures. Knowing that some people might not be entirely hones when asked to click “I’m over 18” only if they really are, Ohio’s proposed law would force every porn watcher to provide proof of age in the form of a state ID document.
Whether the law would also require online shoppers to prove their age before being able to search online stores where sex toys, Playboy and other revealing magazines and videos are readily available for purchase is uncertain.
