明尼苏达州的立法者Leigh Finke反对色情业年龄核查法案, Minnesota lawmaker Leigh Finke opposes age-verification bill for porn, citing LGBTQ youth's need for sexual education.

明尼苏达州Reg. Leigh Finke在2026年2月的听证会上引发全国辩论, 讨论一项要求网上色情制品年龄验证的法案, Minnesota Rep. Leigh Finke sparked national debate during a February 2026 hearing on a bill requiring age verification for online pornography, arguing that such content can serve as a vital source of sexual education for LGBTQ youth when schools and families offer little inclusive guidance. 该法案允许国家总检察长和家长对不符合规定的网站提起诉讼,其目的是限制未成年人获得成人材料,这与零售业的传统年龄调查相同。 The bill, which would allow the state attorney general and parents to sue non-compliant websites, aims to restrict minors’ access to adult material, mirroring traditional age checks in retail. 虽然支持者说它保护儿童并符合现行法律,但批评者警告说它可能导致隐私风险和数据破坏。 While supporters say it protects children and aligns with existing laws, critics warn it could lead to privacy risks and data breaches. 一位变性妇女Finke强调说,许多男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者(男女同性恋、双性恋、变性者、双性恋和变性者)青年无法获得准确信息,法律可能伤害弱势群体。 Finke, a transgender woman, emphasized that many LGBTQ youth lack access to accurate information and that the law could harm vulnerable populations. 该法案仍在明尼苏达大厦审查之中。 The bill remains under review in the Minnesota House.
