You should try to engage with the substance of the post.

The claim made by some is that its illegal to require porn companies to do age verification due to the first amendment. It's really the only legal theory I've seen that supports the claim that the Texas law and others are unconstitutional. The rest just amounts to "it's bad so they should rule against Texas and others."

If his comment was based on some different understanding lets state it so we can clarify, but I think I already have. Of course its not illegal to ask someone's age on the internet. Is that truly what you believed I was saying?

I was just trying to explain the confusion of the original response, I'm not interested in the topic. They originally said "it's illegal for a company to verify someone's age", but their follow up post was "it's illegal for the government to force companies to verify age"
