Yikes. Asking all visitors to enter ID? They just don't want anyone on those sites. You could just as well use a device-based age verification system and cut out a major point of access. Looking like Arkansas and Mississippi are following the South Korean model.

People who are unable to verify ID will just use sketchier sources

Pretty much like the war on drugs leads to more drug deaths due to contamination and shame (less likely to call for help) etc, I could see this pushing people towards sketchier sites with rape videos or revenge porn.
