Blake (Pandora Blake)<p>Huge milestone: I've just paid off the final installment of the £5k loan I took out to pay for the new Dreams of Spanking website! 💪🎉 Feels like a massive win as it means I can finally get paid properly for my work on the business, but my enjoyment of it is a bit compromised by having to deal with <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/AgeVerification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgeVerification</span></a> (and my fears that it will seriously impact sales) ... here's hoping we continue to reap the benefits of all our hard work 🤞</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/porn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>porn</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/AdultIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdultIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/QueerPorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerPorn</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/SpankingPorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpankingPorn</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/OSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSA</span></a></p>
Blake (Pandora Blake)<p>Managed to shelve my "but it makes NO SENSE" resistance and made progress with the SFW/AV friendly redesign of the Dreams of Spanking homepage.

Blake (Pandora Blake)<p>Ofcom have handed out a £7000 fine for lack of age verification.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"As age verification bills pass across the world under the guise of “keeping children safe online,” governments are increasingly giving themselves the authority to decide what topics are deemed “safe” for young people to access, and forcing online services to remove and block anything that may be deemed “unsafe.” This growing legislative trend has sparked significant concerns and numerous First Amendment challenges, including a case currently pending before the Supreme Court–Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton. The Court is now considering how government-mandated age verification impacts adults’ free speech rights online.</p><p>These challenges keep arising because this isn’t just about safety—it’s censorship. Age verification laws target a slew of broadly-defined topics. Some block access to websites that contain some "sexual material harmful to minors," but define the term so loosely that “sexual material” could encompass anything from sex education to R-rated movies; others simply list a variety of vaguely-defined harms. In either instance, lawmakers and regulators could use the laws to target LGBTQ+ content online.</p><p>This risk is especially clear given what we already know about platform content policies.

ErosBlog Bacchus<p>In the USA before Dobbs, abortion couldn&#39;t be outlawed outright, so opponents pioneered ways to make it &quot;impossible but not illegal.&quot; Mostly by dreaming up impossible regulations for abortion providers.</p><p>This post is not about abortion.</p><p>Anti-porn forces are following the same playbook with age verification. AV isn&#39;t intended to &quot;protect the children&quot; or whatever. It&#39;s impossible to comply; customers won&#39;t ID themselves. It&#39;s a porn biz killer, and that&#39;s its purpose.</p><p><a href="https://kinkyelephant.com/tags/Porn" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Porn</span></a> <a href="https://kinkyelephant.com/tags/AgeVerification" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AgeVerification</span></a></p>
