keep gooning legal

Utah’s new age-verification provisions are now in effect. SB 73 requires sites to age-verify users physically located in Utah regardless of IP address, undermining geoblocking and raising major privacy concerns. buff.ly/IIHCyZW

The IRS finalized its “No Tax on Tips” rule but excluded income from adult content. Creators can still deduct up to $25K in tips (2025–2028), but “pornographic activity” doesn’t qualify, creating a clear double standard. buff.ly/wksEVx4

This afternoon, WI Governor Tony Evers VETOED a Republican age-verification bill, AB 105, call it "an intrusion into the privacy of Wisconsin residents.” A huge victory for FSC and other groups who fought this regressive censorship law! freespeechcoalition.com/blog/wisconsin…

Platforms with user or creator uploads should integrate StopNCII.org to help block non-consensual intimate images before they’re shared. With the TAKE IT DOWN Act taking effect this year, proactive safety tools matter more than ever. buff.ly/jYZpbGf

Here's a look at what we're seeing so far in 2026. Beyond age verification, lawmakers are advancing punitive taxes, new consent requirements, VPN restrictions, and warning label mandates targeting adult businesses in multiple states. Full breakdown: buff.ly/E2iLSOM

Wisconsin is about to ban VPNs for "material harmful to minors" The bill has passed the Assembly and the final Senate vote is tomorrow! If you're in WI, or have friend or fans who are, tell them to contact their legislator NOW! ➡️defendonlineprivacy.com/wi/action.php

A federal judge dismissed the age verification lawsuit against Titan Websites, operator of HentaiCity.com. In the first private AV case to reach resolution, the court found plaintiffs may lack jurisdiction over out of state sites under Kansas law. freespeechcoalition.com/blog/kansas-ag…

Our industry should remain accessible for adults and safe for minors, but that doesn't mean that we should blindly accept discriminatory age verification bills. Limiting digital rights and privacy is not the answer! Thank you, Isis Love ❤️ @IsisLove @fscarmy defendonlineprivacy.com #StopBadInternetBills #AgeVerificationReform #DigitalRights
