US Supreme Court Agrees To Review Age Verification Law For Online Porn
The US Supreme Court will hear a challenge to a Texas law requiring pornographic websites to verify users’ ages. The law aims to limit minors’ access to online sexual content. A trade association argues it violates free speech rights. A federal court initially blocked the law, but an appeals court upheld it. The case raises concerns about privacy and government overreach. Similar laws exist in other states. Oral arguments will begin in October. AFP
