Okay not to sound stupid here or anything? What I am seeing is a host asking for proof of age not personal information such as addresses and such. My questions are simple do not both go hand in hand? In order to provide age verification does not one also have to supply personal information as well? I am sure from what I understand about the legally information within the 2257 that we must supply this to government authorities and to affiliate who use this content or business related entities who deal in our median as sale oriented procurrers
Here is some information for those with girls that look younger:

Sites whose models/actors merely *look* like minors but are actually
adults must comply with USC 18 § 2257, which requires producers of
such sites to verify that their models/actors are over the age of 18,
and requires these producers to keep records of the performers name,
address, age, and every name, nickname or stage alias ever used.
Additionally, they must prominently display a disclaimer on the site
attesting to the fact that the performers are all legally adults.
I do not see any where in my research about this thread where a host also can demand this information given the fact they are not an affiliate or a legal entity onto themselves, nor are they directly selling the content, and as a result are without liability in accountability.
What I would suggest to the hosting company is they make it policy for webmasters to use an above like disclaimer if the type of content projects something like the above issue. Personally I am all for freedom of speech and expression and honestly I think this subject is hog wash and personally if the hosting company has a problem with adult orient sites. Simple stop allowing them in all honesty I think this is another big brother issue of trying to control ones own domain - therefore we as webmaster can keep it simple and boycott the host!
Also let the host company use this type of disclaimer also making themselves not liable if there are so in fear of there business. Person I am going to say here stop the bulling and bullshit and get on with business? Sorry if I offend anyone I do apologize if I have ? I am honestly not meaning to just stating an opinion.
