California’s Political Tug-of-War over Child Sex Trafficking Law

In an event akin to a major error in a baseball game, a recent legislative decision by the Democratic state legislators in California stirred controversy. The legislators initially balked at a bill that proposed harsher punishments for repeat offenders of child sex trafficking, creating a scenario that had political implications and public backlash.

Two months ago, the state Senate unanimously passed SB 14, a bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker. The bill aimed to escalate penalties for those repeatedly found guilty of child sex trafficking. Presently, sex trafficking is regarded as a non-serious felony in the state. SB 14 aimed to change that, labeling it as a ‘serious’ felony when children are involved. The importance of this change cannot be overstated – it would bring crime under California’s “three strikes” law, significantly extending prison sentences for repeated offenders.

However, the Assembly Public Safety Committee seemed to stall the bill’s progress. This committee has often been a graveyard for bills aiming to toughen sentences. Many of its members believe that harsher sentencing could lead to prison overcrowding and disproportionately affect people of color.

This viewpoint, however, led to a public outcry. The public argued that child sex trafficking is an abhorrent crime that demands stringent penalties, regardless of broader discussions about prison reform. Caught between public outrage and the principles of criminal justice reform, the Democratic lawmakers found themselves in a precarious situation.

Luckily, Governor Gavin Newsom and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas intervened, urging a reevaluation of the bill to prevent a potential political backlash. Following their intervention, the Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to progress the bill to the Appropriations Committee, marking a reversal in their earlier stance.

This political drama in California highlights how lawmakers often must navigate a careful line between principles, party lines, public sentiment, and the practical implications of legislation. Just like a baseball game, the rules of politics are simple on the surface but can become complex in practice. As this saga shows, when the public pushes back too hard, lawmakers have to adjust their stance, or they risk losing the game.

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam

At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.

Why This Matters
Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.

Automatic Implementation
Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:

· Blurs the website’s adult content
· Camera access management
· Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation
· Instant verification results

Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.

For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.

Compliance Without the Complexity
By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.

SkyPrivate Launches Lifetime 90% Referral Payout for Models

SkyPrivate is rolling out a major update that gives models a powerful new way to
maximize their earnings: 90% lifetime payout on referred members.

With this new system, the models earn 90% on everything the new members they refer
to SkyPrivate spend with them on the platform.

This includes tips, pay-per-minute calls, prepaid shows, and store purchases. And the
models continue to earn 90% for as long as their referrals remain active on SkyPrivate.

To access the 90% referral payout rate, the models simply need to log in to their
SkyPrivate accounts, navigate to “Promote” → “Get 90% Payout”, and copy their
referral links.

They can then share their links wherever their fans follow them: socials, chat, anywhere.
SkyPrivate’s referral update doesn’t change the models’ regular payout rates. Instead, it
adds a new way for models to earn 90% on the referred members’ spending with them
and boost their income.

“This update is designed to reward our models for bringing new active members to the
platform,” said Dragos, chief commercial officer at SkyPrivate. “It’s simple, transparent,
and gives our community of models an extra way to maximize their earnings… for life.”

The 90% lifetime payout enables SkyPrivate models to take charge of their referrals and
turn their existing fan base across social media and other platforms into a steady stream
of income.

It’s a competitive advantage for those looking to grow their presence and earnings on
the platform.
