Summary
A new Texas bill (SB 3003), introduced by Senator Angela Paxton, would require online sex toy retailers to verify buyers’ ages with government-issued photo IDs or third-party services.
Violations could result in Class A Misdemeanors and fines up to $5,000.
Critics say the bill echoes outdated obscenity laws and could push consumers to riskier retailers while creating privacy concerns.
Opponents argue it mirrors ineffective age verification laws seen nationwide and could lead to records of sex toy purchases being used against marginalized communities.
“Party of Freedom”
Hey Texans. I have the freedom to walk down the street and buy weed at the weed store. Do you?
Hey Texans. Women here have rights your women don’t.
Where dat freedom at? Is it trickling down?
Free to be white, Christian, submissive, and breedable.
Everyone has their kinks, I guess
I’ll give credit where it’s due, in my state which is controlled by the same freedom, this is one we have.
THAT SAID, we’re the only state with the only (two) cities controlled by the state instead of the city themselves, which of course the state views the cities as enemies so… yea. “Party of Freedom” still applies.
States seizing control of cities is something horrifying and should be seen as a means of repression
Kansas City and St Louis is pissed.
However the idiots in the rest of the state are celebrating. But hey, shouldn’t be surprised, they vote in bills that go against Republican plans so the Republicans they vote in just overturn them with “The voters didn’t know what they were voting for” then cry when we call them a bunch of fucking hicks.
I assume those people don’t like their state being called misery
