The nearest Kentucky analog is KRS Chapter 231 (Places of Entertainment), which regulates physical entertainment venues and requires county permits — it does not cover online platforms. No official index or search on the legislature site returned such a provision. Confidence is contested because the claim rests on an index listing rather than operative statutory text, and Kentucky law could theoretically live in an unexpected title (e.g., taxation or business regulation). Federal material (18 U.S.C. 2257 / 28 C.F.R. Part 75) appears only in platform terms, is excluded from this batch per batch rules, and is not recorded here.",
