The Supreme Court upheld a Texas law aimed at restricting young people’s access to pornographic content online. The law requires age verification for users of websites hosting adult content. The measure was challenged by a pornography interest group but was upheld in a 6-3 vote. Justice Clarence Thomas stated that the law uses established verification methods and serves to protect children from explicit material. The challengers argued that the law violates the First Amendment, citing a previous Supreme Court ruling on a similar federal law. Despite concerns from online platforms, the law was not blocked by the Supreme Court in April 2024.
