Supreme Court Case on Texas Age Verification Law, Free Speech Coalition v Paxton

The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that the Supreme Court should strike down Texas HB1181, which requires websites where one-third or more of the material is "sexual material harmful to minors" to verify all visitors' ages. It says the law would expose adults to privacy and security risks, noting that fifteen million adult U.S. citizens lack a driver's license and that age verification company AU10TIX had a breach last year. It also warns that a ruling for Texas could affect the more than a third of U.S. states that have introduced or enacted similar laws, and it cites the 1997 Reno v. ACLU decision, which struck down a federal online age-verification provision.
