   I absolutely guarantee that if somebody somehow managed to thread the needle by coming up with a cryptographic protocol and business model that solved all the privacy and security and trust issues in a cheap and easy-to-implement way, the folks who passed the current batch of AV laws would balk, object, and change the laws to forbid it. Because the impossibility is the point of these laws.

     In the USA before Dobbs, abortion couldn't be outlawed outright, so opponents pioneered ways to make it "impossible but not illegal." Mostly by dreaming up impossible regulations for abortion providers.

     This post is not about abortion.

     Anti-porn forces are following the same playbook with age verification. AV isn't intended to "protect the children" or whatever. It's impossible to comply; customers won't ID themselves. It's a porn biz killer, and that's its purpose.
