It’s literally the first sentence in the article.
You posted the article but didn’t read it?
Well
Anyway
Yes, Tennessee is one of the states.
Yes. I saw it in my RSS feed and thought people on Lemmy would find it interesting.
The logic is sound, because I (and assumingly others) found it interesting, but please try to read an article before sharing it.
It's not, though. This is the first sentence in the article:
It can be inferred, of course, from that line, but isn't explicitly stated.
Touché
Amusingly it's not even a sentence but a sentence fragment (I am not trying to be pedantic, since your point is valid - I assume the article is just missing an "are", but I find it funny).
“Subject” is being used as a verb here. So it’s not “subject to age verification laws,” but “subject to age verification laws.” They are subjecting, or subjugating themselves, to verification laws. It is a complete sentence. A weirdly written one, but a complete one.
Yep, they missed the verb. "...of Americans ARE subject to..." fixes it
