A bill requiring adult websites to use age verification is likely headed to a vote on the West Virginia House floor. The House Judiciary Committee advanced House Bill 4412 on Friday, aiming to prevent minors from accessing explicit online content. Lawmakers raised concerns about privacy, data security, and enforcement, including the use of third-party companies to verify ages and audit websites. Supporters say similar laws in other states reduced traffic to adult sites, while critics question effectiveness and potential constitutional issues.
