listen asshole, its not the fact that an ID is needed to watch porn that is the main problem, its the fact that a state agency is going to be in charge of SECURING THE INFORMATION.
An agency whose cyber security is guarded by the lowest bid contractor. An agency that relies on state government servers to hold the information of who signed up for it, and somehow supposedly compartmentalizing the information in such a way that WHEN the database is hacked, that the hacked information is either correctly encrypted and useless or literally specific to a single query point and not cross-referenced to more detail, like someones actual fucking drivers license complete with their DL #, DOB, Address, phone number, email, and even SSN.
You know, all the shit that is needed for identity theft and bank fraud. Which as we know from the Louisiana hack has already happened with another state who set up the same rules that Texas borrowed.
Yeah lets use this database state-wide so that we can feel good about doing nothing about stopping underage porn useage, but get to thump our chest and somehow think its going to stop a 13 year old from getting porn.
Btw, the VERY first thing a semi-intelligent kid is going to do when encountering this stuff, is borrow Mom or Dad's DL information some night when you are asleep and left your wallet/purse on the table next to the front door. sign into the stupid site as you, and save that information, and poof, your info is now in the database as well.
Then of course, when that info gets out there and you and the rest of your "no-porn, no way" friends all see each others names on the hacked list, what are you going to do then? hmm... blame it on the state for being hacked is your answer.
But, thats not going to happen to you right, you are going to come back to this thread and tell everyone how you are a hyper-vigilant parent and there is no way the kids will do stuff like this without you finding out. hubris.
