Adult sites are starting to geo-block Utah. While there are many issues at stake here, one of the biggest is the near impossibility of compliance with the law as written. FSC Executive Director Alison Boden has sent a letter to Sen. Todd Weiler, the architect of the law, detailing the issues and requesting clarification.

The Honorable Todd D. Weiler 1248 W 1900 South Woods Cross, UT 84087 Subject: Compliance with SB287 Dear Senator Weiler, I am writing to express my concerns about the bill you sponsored, SB287, which takes effect on May 3. As the Executive Director of the Free Speech Coalition, the trade organization for the adult industry, I am tasked with interpreting your bill to create guidance for our members when the law goes into effect. Unfortunately, despite consulting over a dozen lawyers, I must admit I'm stumped. The law is so vague — and the requirements for compliance so contradictory — I cannot figure out how FSC members can follow this law. SB287 gives three options for complying with the law, none of which we understand, despite being intimately familiar with existing age-verification protocols: First, a "digitized information card … available through a state-approved application". Unlike Louisiana (which crafted the legislation SB287 is based on), Utah does not have a system for verifying a Mobile Driver's License online. Second, verification through a database that is "regularly used by government agencies and businesses for the purpose of age verification." We are unaware of how to determine whether a database meets this criterion and would appreciate it if you could provide direction on this point. Third, "any commercially reasonable method that relies on public or private transactional data to verify the age of the person attempting to access the material." This language seems to imply that age verification providers must contract with data brokers — an option with significant privacy issues for Utahns. This is especially so since the law does not require providers to meet any of the security standards used by reputable age verification services (for example, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, or BSI PAS 1296:2018). There are many other methods of age verification in use that are not specifically authorized by the law. For example: Non-digitized identification documents Mobile phone records Biometric analysis Open banking and credit card data We are concerned that because the bill is unclear on which approaches are approved, it is possible that different courts could interpret the law in different ways. Without unambiguous guidance, we fear that even sites that make a good-faith effort to comply risk being sued, even if they are using more aggressive methods of age verification. Beyond the method of compliance, the fundamental question of which sites are required to institute age verification is entirely unclear. SB287 specifies that sites containing more than 33 ⅓ percent material "harmful to minors" must institute age-verification protocols. How is that percentage calculated? The volume of data? The number of posts? What is the proper metric to measure? Gigabytes? Character count? The number of images? Video runtime? Does the law apply to social media platforms, like Twitter and Reddit, which host substantial amounts of content that the law designates harmful to minors? Further, SB287 specifies that the commercial entity which posts the content to the internet from a site with a substantial portion of such material is liable. In this case, who is responsible — the website on which such content is posted, the entity that posted the content, or both? You may recall that we wrote to you while the legislature was considering this bill, requesting a dialogue about these issues. While we understand that you may be morally opposed to our work and perhaps object to our right to speech, we could have — at the very least — helped you draft a technologically sound law. The offer stands. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Adult Time announces a brand-new pilot series about navigating the complex dynamics - and taboo attraction - of stepsibling relationships in Family Siblings, with four simultaneous scene releases to accommodate fans of straight, gay, lesbian and trans content.

“Within our fanbase, our different spinoff series stemming from the original ‘Mommy’s Girl’ have been quite popular”, said Frank Stacy, Adult Time’s Marketing Director. “Following the release of ‘Mommy’s Boy’, we launched a gay version of the series this last year called ‘Daddy’s Boy’. ‘Family Siblings’ is the new entry in this family roleplay roster.”

“Prank You Very Much!” (Straight) features Eliza Ibarra as a young woman who needs her glasses to see, and her stepbrother Ricky Spanish switches out her glasses so she can’t tell who is soaping her up in the shower or finding her sweet spot in the bedroom! “Just Like Old Times Together” (Lesbian) spotlights  Aften Opal and Hazel Moore as they plan their vacation but realize their passports are expired. Luckily the resourceful stepsisters have a Plan B - a camping adventure, just the two of them, right in their own backyard! “Game Changer” (Gay) sneaks a peek into the bedroom of Julian Brady and his boyfriend Jay Tee as they relax on the bed playing video games. Julian’s stepbrother Trevor Brooks is annoyed and feeling left out, and admits his feeling for Julian. Jay is shocked when he finds Julian and Trevor together, but they all agree that sharing is WAY more fun! “The Stepsisterhood Of Unraveling Pants” (Trans) stars Jenna Creed and Maddy May as stepsisters who spend some time doing yoga together to unwind, but when Jenna accidentally rips Maddy’s leggings, Maddy finds a better way of getting Jenna to relax!

Multi-nominated male talent, Brad Newman has a brand-new must-see Naughty America scene that has him cast as a boobs hound. Brad Newman’s new Naughty America scene is for the My Girlfriend’s Busty Friend series. Hot girl babe London Laurent who likes to magnify men’s fantasies is making her Naughty America debut, and Brad is more than happy to break her in. London appreciates that Brad and his girlfriend are letting her stay with them, but one thing she’s noticed during her stay is she keeps catching Brad staring at her boobs which is making her uncomfortable. It doesn’t help that London’s boobs are always close to jumping out of her low-cut tops—anyone would be checking them out. So London decides to show Brad her big naturals, hoping he will get over his obsession. When she breaks out her big-ass tits, Brad remarks how beautiful they are and perfectly symmetrical. Then Brad asks to squeeze them and even asks to suck on them, which really turns London on and leads to a whole lot more, including oral sex and fucking. Hopefully, Brad’s girlfriend won’t come home and catch them having fun.

“I really enjoy breaking in new talent, and London did an excellent job. She’s such a sweet hometown girl, but she’s also a sexy minx who likes to tease with her big naturals. I’m sure the Naughty America members and my fans will enjoy this one!” says Brad Newman.

Watch all of Brad’s Naughty America scenes on the official Naughty America website, including his previous scene for the Neighbor Affair series with Katie Kush.

Veteran gay porn star Dillon Diaz launches Digging Deeper, a bi-monthly column exclusively on Fleshbot all about the porn industry and the reality of being in the biz. Dillon served as a guest writer for Fleshbot in February for Black History Month, and couldn’t wait to join the team as a regular contributor.  Dillon Diaz starts his first column with a bang, talking about his planned nuptials to porn stud Jake Waters. The two met on set for Noir Male in 2019 and it was love at first sight. The real-life porn couple tied the knot on April 29th.

“We had a beautiful courtship that defied the odds and renewed my faith in love. When I began working in adult entertainment, I just assumed that I would be single for the duration because there wouldn’t be many people who would be comfortable with what I do for a living. And trying to build a relationship with someone who is also an adult entertainer, could be problematic too, but I was wrong. I found one who understood me and loved me.”

Moving forward, Dillon will talk about his first year of marriage, how it fits into their careers in the porn world, and his unique perspective and behind the scenes take on the adult film world.  Digging Deeper with Dillon Diaz joins a network of Fleshbot exclusive porn contributors that include AJ Sloan’s Fucking with AJ Sloan sex tip column and co-star interviews, Tarotscopes with Adam Russo, and Sorry for Asking podcast with Adam Ramzi and Cole Connor. Later this month, Fleshbot will launch Twink Tales pornspective column with twink porn stud Asher Day and Reading is Fundamental podcast with adult performer Blue Bailey and drag queen Dextra DeNovo.

Could you imagine busty, red-haired vixen, Sabien DeMonia, getting ghosted by a date? Well, it happened in her new Adult Time scene. Even hotties like Sabien DeMonia get ghosted by dates. In her latest scene, "Ghosted Date," which she stars in and directed for her uber-popular Adult Time Channel, she waits for her date Mike Hell to show up, but it looks like he's stood her up. She's angry and calls her best friend, Michelle Masque, to complain. Michelle is a good friend and wouldn't leave her bestie alone and sad. Michelle had already left her place and was on the way to punish a submissive loser. But she's had a change of plans and is on her way to Sabien's place. The two have a very satisfying evening together, and Sabien has almost forgotten she was stood up until her date, Mike, shows up at her door with flowers explaining he was stuck in traffic. Part 2 will soon be available on Sabien's channel, and anything could happen.

"Being ghosted sucks, but when you get to have hot sex with your bestie, you kind of forget about it. Part 2 is really epic, and my subscribers will have to wonder if Mike will be punished, will he get to watch Michelle and me together, or will he get to have a hot three-way with Michelle and me. So make sure to watch Part 1 before the next installment comes out, so you're all caught up," says Sabien DeMonia.

Watch "Ghosted Date" and Sabien's six previous scenes on her Adult Time Channel.
