FSC Launches Action Modal for Adult Sites to Fight AV Laws

FSC Launches Action Modal for Adult Sites to Fight AV Laws

LOS ANGELES — Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has launched its new action modal web script for adult websites to help combat state age verification legislation.

"When a user visits your website, the script checks to see whether they have already seen the pop-up (using a cookie)," says an FSC statement. "If not, it checks whether they are in a state with a pending age-verification bill. If they are, it displays a popup window asking them to oppose the bill."

Links in the popup box open in a separate tab or window, and clicking anywhere outside the box closes it.

"Politicians' number one priority is reelection, so they care far more about what the voters in their district think than what the porn industry thinks," the statement continues. "We were able to defeat Arizona's law in 2024 by mobilizing constituents to pressure the governor into vetoing a bill that the legislature had passed. We think we can do it again this year in more states."

Current states in which the box will pop up are Arizona, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The modal script is available on GitHub.
