The War on Porn Regular Updates about the Assault on The Adult Industry

Something’s always shifting in the world of compliance — especially when it comes to how adult sites handle age verification. The Free Speech Coalition (FSC), the legal advocacy nonprofit that often ends up doing the industry’s heavy lifting, just rolled out an updated version of its Compliance With U.S. Age Verification Laws: A Toolkit for Adult Websites.
The group explained on its website that the updates were necessary, given how quickly the legal ground keeps moving. What used to be “best practices” a few months ago can suddenly look outdated once new state laws or attorney general actions land on the table.
“Today, we are releasing an updated edition reflecting new legal developments and feedback from stakeholders who’ve put the toolkit into practice,” the post read.
And it’s not a light revision, either. “The key updates in this version include the final language and analysis of the Missouri age verification regulation taking effect November 30th and inclusion of recently-filed attorney-general actions, regulatory notices, and litigation related to age-verification laws,” FSC added.
That sense of urgency runs through every line of the update. “FSC’s guidance to our members continues to develop as state requirements and enforcement actions evolve,” said Alison Boden, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition. “Staying up-to-date is vital as companies make decisions about compliance.”
For those who actually need to keep their sites out of trouble (and their users protected), the new version of Compliance With U.S. Age Verification Laws: A Toolkit for Adult Websites is available for download at FreeSpeechCoalition.com/toolkit
