This is so stupid. It just means people will go to other sites, hosted elsewhere, that don't care about the law.
Including sites that are hosted outside of the US. Does Virginia think that a site hosted in the Germany and run by people in the Netherlands will care that Virginia says they need to verify the age of their visitors? (I picked those countries at random. If I somehow picked countries that wouldn't work due to local laws, just substitute different countries.)
