    It’s literally the first sentence in the article.

      It’s not, though. This is the first sentence in the article:

      As Michael McGrady pointed out in his recent guest post for Techdirt, nearly 41 percent of Americans subject to age verification laws targeting porn and, of course, porn consumers.

      It can be inferred, of course, from that line, but isn’t explicitly stated.

        Amusingly it’s not even a sentence but a sentence fragment (I am not trying to be pedantic, since your point is valid - I assume the article is just missing an “are”, but I find it funny).

          “Subject” is being used as a verb here. So it’s not “subject to age verification laws,” but “subject to age verification laws.” They are subjecting, or subjugating themselves, to verification laws. It is a complete sentence. A weirdly written one, but a complete one.

      Yes. I saw it in my RSS feed and thought people on Lemmy would find it interesting.

        The logic is sound, because I (and assumingly others) found it interesting, but please try to read an article before sharing it.
