Then it'll be used for targetted application, which is even worse.

This is what I've been saying. They probably don't care if little Jimmy knows how to skirt the id requirement by using one of the thousands of sites that don't comply with Louisiana's stupid law, but it sure would be a shame if word got out that major democrat nominees uploaded their id to a porn site one day several years ago.

This kind of law is a thin veil of "think of the children" in order to orchestrate future extortion.
