I believe that this will have significant and lasting effects on the industry. An excessive burden will be placed on site operators who wish to comply with these laws, and customers who just wish to support an industry. XBiz has reported numerous sites being sued earlier this year for non-compliance.
I am glad that I spent the time last, and this year, reading the documentation and learning all of the various Age Verification and Know Your Customer solutions. LoginBlue already has a release candidate to integrate them.
I think there are methods to weather this storm by shifting marketing plans and business direction. I've seen a few people on this forum (and some of my clients) already start adopting these plans.
I liked Kagan's dissent, and in following the various adult-oriented attorneys on Twitter, I think there is a lot of disappointment in today's ruling.
