🚨 Attention Arizonans! The Senate is set to hear a bill that would force adult Arizonans to share government ID, undergo biometric scans and/or a background check to access adult sites. It's invasive and dangerous. Tell them to vote NO on HB2112! ⬇️ defendonlineprivacy.com/az/action.php

Yesterday, we were proud to hear our Statement for the Record, detailing the the vast debanking of our community, publicly acknowledged by Ranking Member @repmaxinewaters.bsky.social during the House Financial Services hearing on banking access. Bank #derisking hurts marginalized communities.

“What you can do now is support the Free Speech Coalition, which has been fighting age verification laws for years. Free speech in porn is the bulwark against censorship—the freedom to depict sex protects the freedom to talk about it, educate about it, and more.”

FSC's @mikestabile.bsky.social spoke to the AZ legislature to explain why laws like HB2112 haven't actually worked— and how they've paradoxically driven exponential growth of illegal, pirate and other non-compliant sites outside the US. Device-level age-verification is the way forward.

On Friday, FSC flew to Santa Fe to oppose a New Mexico age-verification bill based on Texas' law. We shared our concerns — and suggested more effective alternatives. The bill was tabled for changes. We are committed to find strategies to protect minors without censoring the internet for adults.

FSC's @mikestabile.bsky.social just testified in Arizona against to HB2112, an AV bill that would force Arizonans to upload government identification, undergo facial scans or otherwise risk anonymity to access the internet. More importantly, we showed them other, more effective options.
