Today’s decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is a direct blow to the free speech rights of adults. The Court ruled that “no person—adult or child—has a First Amendment right to access speech that is obscene to minors without first submitting proof of age.” This ruling allows states to enact onerous age-verification rules that will block adults from accessing lawful speech, curtail their ability to be anonymous, and jeopardize their data security and privacy. These are real and immense burdens on adults, and the Court was wrong to ignore them in upholding Texas’ law.

How do you figure? The argument is that porn shouldn’t have age restrictions cause violence on tv and streaming media doesn’t…….but I pointed out that they do have age restrictions.

How is that “changing the sport”? What did you think we were discussing?

Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?

The question was answered and you changed the topic. This is called a “moving the goalpost” fallacy. Looking at your comment history, it’s abundantly clear that I have inadvertently fed a troll, so that’s on me.
