Missouri just passed a terrible new law on "harmful" content. Any site with 1/2 or more "harmful" content must now run ID checks on visitors. This means govt ID or pulling records from mortgages, schools, and employment. It's being sold as child protection, but it allows the state to build a system that ties your offline identity to private browsing habits.

Missouri just passed a tough new law on "harmful" content. Governor Kehoe signed House Bill 1839. Any site with one third or more harmful sexual/"harmful" content must now run an ID check on every single visitor. This means government ID, digital ID, or pulling records from mortgages, schools, and employment. It is sold as child protection. Yet it is not a simple birth year check. It links your real name directly to the most sensitive sites you visit. The state is building a system that ties your identity to private browsing habits. The law bans data retention, but breaches remain a real risk. Fines start at ten thousand dollars per day. It takes effect August 28.
