Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise. House Bill 1181 is an age verification measure that is similar to what we’ve seen in the state legislatures across other red U.S. states. You have an age verification proposal that is similar…

I mean, you linked an entire website, I guess that's a bit better thank just linking google, but doesn't give me any specific info about your claims.

I specifically linked a list of resources that are well cited. The original topic is multiple points, so this is evidence for each one, unless you want to discuss a specific item.

Well, why don't you chose one or two items from your list, and then show me a peer reviewed study proving it!

I don't view "I made so many different claims that I can't bother proving any specific one" as a great argument.

As I just said above, there’s too many points in the original article. Texas requires multiple warning labels and each one has some backing. Why don’t you pick ONE topic and we can discuss it.

So, you make a claim, asked to provide any proof of any single one, and go "nah, you do it for me, I'm too lazy"

I'm sorry, that's just not a convincing argument!

Sigh. I guess I’ll have to spell it out for you. The article says porn “potentially biologically addictive, is proven to harm human brain development, desensitizes brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses, and weakens brain function.” Or, that exposure to porn “is associated with low self-esteem and body image eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses.”

I’m not going to debate each and every one of them, so I offered YOU the choice to pick ONE of those aforementioned topics to discuss at a time. The ball is on your court, and you’re whining that im not engaging with you.

Ok, so to be clear, no, you don't have evidence of the list.

Good to know.
