Your post is further idiotic because Texas has none of your information. The porn website does though, and once again it's a matter of how much you trust them with that.
I never said "Texas has your information", I said "you've left an electronic trail"-- which, as you yourself acknowledge, is in the hands of a company that you may or may not trust. If they receive a subpoena for that information from the DA, what do you suppose they'll do? Call up their legal team and fight to quash the subpoena? Or just quietly hand over the information?
(Also, as I've pointed out elsewhere, there is nothing in the language of HB 1181 to stop the website owners from outright *selling* your age-verification info).
I very much doubt that if this were a story about purchasing firearms that you'd have the same concerns.
Gun purchases aren't anonymous and never will be. The analogy is pointless.
