It requires people to produce state issued identification, thereby giving their name, address and physical traits to a porn company. Not to mention the possibility that the state could force the poen company to give up the Identities of everyone trying to access the website.

What imagine they will do is just block all access from Texas like Pornhub does with Florida.
