Two weeks ago, New Hampshire considered a bill to mandate age-verification on adult sites. The hearing was heavily in favor and it was poised to pass. But FSC, ACLU and ELA raised serious issues and offered real solutions.
It was voted down 16-2.
We can do this.

Whether you're a large site or an independent creator, Texas wants you to post large warnings on every page saying that viewing porn results in addiction, brain damage, eating disorders and child exploitation.
It's offensive. It's untrue. And it's beyond unconstitutional.

🛄 FSC Industry Banking Strategies 🛄
Banks sometimes treat frequent travel and hotel costs as an indicator of sex work — especially when paired with income from a known adult site. So if you travel a lot for work, using a separate card from a different bank may limit snooping.
