I don't see how Mississippi or the UK think they can issue laws on sites hosted outside their jurisdiction. That's just mind boggling. The onus is on the state to provide age verification, or make their ISPs do it.

    The one compromise I'd like to see is for sites to have to provide keywords like in the robot.txt file that says what they serve. So let's say a site provides porn or gore and a parent wants to block access to it, it should be a simple toggle on the router or browser or both.

    Anything beyond that is just bullshit

    Watch the whole world go "ahaha age verification go brrrrr" in the next months/years, and we'll talk again. I'm particularly baffled at the EU that was all "privacy friendly, consumer first" until a handful of month ago.
