Half of all states (the red ones, go figure) have passed laws forcing porn sites to require age verification.
The porn companies say they can't possibly verify everyone's age - most users wouldn't want to provide details to prove who they are and the porn industry relies on hooking kids to grow.
So they sued, claiming it was a First Amendment violation (just a reminder that porn isn't protected under the 1A no matter what liberal judges have ruled).
The Supreme Court told them to pound sand.
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that Texas's age-verification law for porn websites is constitutional and does not violate the First Amendment.
In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court upheld a Texas law requiring porn sites to verify that users are at least 18 years old.
The Texas law also requires porn sites to warn visitors that pornography is "potentially biologically addictive" and "proven to harm human brain development, desensitizes brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses, and weakens brain function."
‘The power to require age verification is within a State's authority to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content,' Thomas wrote in the opinion.
‘The First Amendment leaves undisturbed States' traditional power to prevent minors from accessing speech that is obscene from their perspective,' he added. ‘That power includes the power to require proof of age before an individual can access such speech.
