A key Senate committee vote next week won't include AI, but there's a stupid "porn" age verification bill. Why the SCREEN Act is worth your attention: 👉 Age verification required for ANY "interactive computer service" that makes adult content available 👉 IP address verification 👉 VPN restrictions

Internet infrastructure services carry all kinds of encrypted data to preserve the integrity of the Internet. The bill's definition would cover caching and routing services like the content delivery networks (CDNs) used to load content on many websites. We'd all be worse off, but there's no logic.
