A trade group for the adult entertainment industry will appear at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in its challenge to a Texas law that requires pornography sites to verify the age of their users before providing access – for example, by requiring a government-issued identification. The law applies to any website whose content is one-third or more “harmful to minors” – a definition that the challengers say would include most sexually suggestive content, from nude modeling to romance novels and R-rated movies.

    Yes the fuck they can. Point to a single law that says they can’t.

    I’d say the same to you.

    The only thing that can’t release is what is protected. Ssid, dl, address, medical into, disability status, so on so forth.

    Your membership is not protected at all in any way especially with porn sites you have no contract with you.

    It’s fucking insane that you don’t know it’s both legal and happens constantly, there’s an entire industry and economy based on data scraping to find and release non protected information because of both profitable and legal.

    Youd think a ferangi would know the rules of business at least we’ll enough to know what you can skirt and what you can’t rom of keldar.

      You are so wrong. Companies cannot just release personally-identifiable data about people. You’re being crazy if you think they can.

      Information that can be used to identify an individual cannot be shared without consent.

      Publicly outing specific people with their names falls under that.

      It’s hilarious how wrong you are.
