Other way around:

Sites that COMPLY with laws and exit the state leave behind sites that do not comply.

The sites you CAN reach in Texas are more likely to have trafficking victims and underage participants -- because those sites clearly don't give a hoot about laws.

Texas drove away the wrong sites!

Yes. They want "small government" when the law affects them, but "law and order" when it punishes someone else who annoys them.

It's childishness we've come to be accustomed to, thanks to lead-brained 70-year-olds who are falling into legit cognitive decline... but still have the numbers to be a formidable opponent at the polls on election day.

Also, their dicks don't work anymore without a blue pill, so they may as well take away the consensual naked fun of Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z (18+) people right?

What's worse: Reputable sites that comply with U.S. laws (such as participants being 18+ and filming of their own free will) are effectively forced out, while questionable site carry on.

The likelyhood of seeing abuse victims or underage in Texas goes up, not down.

If they truly cared about protecting minors, they'd see the flaw in their law and rectify it. Of course, we all know (not through cynicism but cold repeated behavior) that political conservatives do not care about minors and care far more about punishing consenting adults.

This law is a step toward the latter.

I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
