The Free Speech Coalition contends that the Texas age verification law restricts access to legally protected content and undermines First Amendment rights, affecting adult sites across numerous states.
With the passage of HB 1181 and similar laws in nineteen Republican-led states, the Supreme Court's ruling on this matter could reshape not just access to adult content, but our understanding of free speech in the digital landscape.

The Texas law imposes strict regulations on commercial entities distributing sexual content online, raising debates regarding minors' protection versus potential overreach and the implications on content accessibility for adults.
