Summary
A new Texas bill (SB 3003), introduced by Senator Angela Paxton, would require online sex toy retailers to verify buyers’ ages with government-issued photo IDs or third-party services.
Violations could result in Class A Misdemeanors and fines up to $5,000.
Critics say the bill echoes outdated obscenity laws and could push consumers to riskier retailers while creating privacy concerns.
Opponents argue it mirrors ineffective age verification laws seen nationwide and could lead to records of sex toy purchases being used against marginalized communities.
Land of the free! Small government!
Just small enough to fit into your pants…
Every vote for a Republican/Conservative is a vote against liberty.
Large enough to oppress the working class, and small enough to abide the ownership class.
