On May 13, 2026, the Missouri House of Representatives passed a bill requiring every pornography website in the world to require anyone accessing it from Missouri upload a government-issued ID. It imposes fines of $10,000 per day per violation. The Senate passed it the day before. The Missouri Attorney General will enforce it. The sponsor of the bill, Representative Sherri Gallick, made the case on the House floor by comparing the audience to vermin. Her exact quote: "When there's a leak in your house you turn the water off. When there's pests that come into your house, an exterminator comes in and cuts off the source. This is the source. Children do not need to view pornography." The audience is the pests. The state is the exterminator. The law is the trap. The trap will not catch anything. The audience already left. Pornhub pulled out of Missouri in December 2025 after the state Attorney General's rule went into effect. So did every other major adult site that did not want to host a database of Missouri driver's licenses. The traffic did not disappear. It simply routed around the law within hours. VPN signups in Florida surged 1,150% in the first four hours after their law went live. Utah saw 967%. Oklahoma 1,060%. Alabama 542%. Every single state that has passed one of these laws has produced the same chart: the law goes into effect, the legitimate sites geo-block, the audience installs a VPN, the traffic redirects to a server in a state without the law. Representative Eric Woods said this out loud on the House floor in March before the vote: "Kids are smart. There are VPNs. There are browser settings that allow you to skirt around some of this stuff." The bill passed anyway. 112 to 25. 32 to 0 in the Senate. The point was never to stop the audience. The point was to build the infrastructure. A bill to protect children becomes a registry of adults. A registry of adults becomes a database of preferences. A database of preferences becomes a list of dissidents. The list of dissidents is the thing the state was building from the beginning. Twenty-five states now have laws requiring an ID upload to access content the Supreme Court declared protected speech less than a decade ago. The same infrastructure is being expanded by the same legislators, in the same sessions, to cover social media accounts, AI chatbots, search engines, and in California, the operating system of the device you bought. Missouri's next bill, currently in committee, would require parental consent for any social media account for anyone aged 14 to 16, and ban accounts entirely for anyone under 14. The bill after that will cover something else. The bill after that will cover something else. The state of Missouri has spent two legislative sessions building a regime to identify an audience that has, as a direct response to the regime, made itself unidentifiable. The state of Missouri just passed a law to identify you. The next state will be the one you live in. The state after that will be the federal government. The state after that will not call itself a state anymore.

❗️🚨 BREAKING: Researchers used Mythos Preview to find the first public macOS kernel memory corruption exploit on Apple's M5 silicon, they give a glimpse into Mythos say it’s really powerful. Apple spent five years and an estimated several billion dollars building Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE), the hardware-assisted memory safety system built around ARM's MTE. It was the flagship security feature of the M5 and A19, designed specifically to kill the entire memory corruption bug class. Researchers from Calif built a working exploit in five days. According to Apple's own research, MIE disrupts every public exploit chain against modern iOS, including the recently leaked Coruna and Darksword kits. Calif walked into Apple Park this week and handed over the report in person. Full 55-page technical report drops after Apple patches the vulnerability.
