Arkansas Proposes Requiring ID To Watch Porn Online

Published by admin on

A new bill advancing through the Arkansas legislature aims to make it harder for people to access porn sites. Senate Bill 66, the Protection of Minors from Distribution of Harmful Material Act, would require anyone in Arkansas to provide a “digitized identification card” before viewing a site that contains more than 33.33 percent of “harmful material.” That arbitrarily-defined number, and the language of the bill itself, is a copycat of a recently-enacted law in Louisiana that blocks people from seeing porn if they don’t hand over official identification. SB66 was filed in the Arkansas Senate in January, and passed to the House on February 1.
