Who in their right mind would expect a free porn site to go to this level of hassle?

Or is this a puritanical measure in disguise?

It's the second one. I saw article where they talked how Florida was the first to pass it, pornhub put time and money into developing what they needed to comply and saw a 90% decrease in traffic because nobody wants to hand over their ID for free porn.

Wouldn't even want to hand over my ID for a paid service.
