Episode notes

Louisiana already had a digital driver's license system in place. A third of people drivers were using this app before the porn law was passed. Mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms opportunity to choose whether or not to comply.

States want to restrict kids’ access to harmful content online via age verification systems. New York Times reporter Natasha Singer explains how a wave of new legislation could dramatically reshape the internet.

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd with help from Michael Raphael, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
