    The article is a couple months old. I’ve read a couple similar articles in the past, but more recent ones don’t seem to mention the warning. I’d have to look at HB 1181’s full text, but I suspect this language was removed before it passed.

    Yes, some version of 1181 passed, but more recent media coverage just compares it to other age verification laws that have passed in a handful of red states. Not saying that’s great, but idk if the labeling thing made it through

    Edit: nvm, Idk why I say shit before researching it. Looks like the language is in the bill as it was signed into law
