The Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law aimed at blocking children under 18 from accessing online pornography, part of a larger trend as nearly half of U.S. states have enacted similar age verification laws. This ruling follows a challenge from the Free Speech Coalition, which contended that the law imposes a free-speech burden on adults. They expressed concerns about personal information being vulnerable to hacking. The Texas administration defended the law by citing advancements in technology that allow for efficient age verification similar to checks in physical adult stores, while acknowledging the legal challenges faced previously by the court regarding similar issues.
