US Supreme Court Upholds Texas Law Requiring Age Verification for Pornography Sites
The US Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law mandating age verification for accessing pornography websites, allowing states to enforce measures aimed at preventing minors from viewing adult content online. This ruling has significant implications for the adult industry and raises questions about internet regulation and free speech. The decision received mixed reactions, with some justices criticizing the majority for its reasoning. ACLU has commented on the case, highlighting the conflict between age verification laws and free speech rights.
