Supreme Court seems open to age checks for online porn, though some free-speech questions remain
Briefly

The Chief Justice John Roberts voiced concerns over the increasing accessibility of pornography, stating that technologically, access to pornography has exploded, highlighting the urgency for age verification.
The Free Speech Coalition emphasizes that the Texas law, while aiming to protect children from pornography, could impede adults by mandating the submission of personal identifiers, exposing them to privacy risks.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of content filtering for various devices, noting the complexity of keeping up with all avenues through which children can access online material.
The law's broad language has raised concerns that it could unintentionally inhibit educational content or portrayals of simulated sex, and it leaves a loophole focusing solely on porn sites.
