US Supreme Court weighs Texas age-check for porn sites
Description
The US Supreme Court heard a challenge to a Texas law that requires pornographic websites to verify the age of visitors
The US Supreme Court grappled with a challenge on Wednesday to a Texas law requiring pornographic websites to verify visitors' ages, part of a growing effort to limit access by minors to online sexual content.
Texas is one of nearly 20 US states to institute such a requirement, which critics argue violates First Amendment free speech rights.
The Texas law was passed in 2023 by the state's Republican-majority legislature but initially blocked after a challenge by an adult entertainment industry trade association.
A federal district court sided with the trade group, pornhub the Free Speech Coalition, saying it restricted access by adults to constitutionally protected content.
