the supreme court On Friday, the Texas Law, which restricts minors under the age of 18, supported access to online pornography, which represents a major development in the increasing legal batch to reduce young people exposure to frank content. The decision reinforces the efforts made by nearly half of the United States, which approved the similar laws of age improvement in response to the availability of militant content on smartphones and digital platforms.
This ruling stems from a challenge from the Freedom of Expression Alliance, a commercial group that represents the industry of retreat from adults, which argued that the law puts an unconstitutional burden on adults by asking them to provide personal information that can be subject to data or monitoring violations. While the group admitted that children should not obtain porn, it warned of the legal risks that violate the rights of viewers in legal age. Some of the adult websites, including Pornhub, have withdrawn from cases with similar restrictions, indicating privacy and logistical concerns.
When defending the law, Texas has argued that modern technology allows to verify a fast and safe age, such as face recognition or digital identity-identification-measures that have long been similar to the court in cases that involve adult institutions. Judges seemed convinced by claiming that today’s tools are less interfering with previous federal laws that have decreased in the past decades because they are wide or very restricted. This decision can pave the way for a more aggressive organization of adults online content that aims to protect the palace while asking new questions about digital privacy and protecting the first amendment.
