Porn sites scored a victory when a federal judge struck down a Texas law requiring users to verify their age. The law is too broad and unconstitutional, U.S. District Judge David Ezra said in his 81-page decision. Several sites fought the Texas statute—as well as similar laws in Louisiana, Utah, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
Ezra issued the court order blocking enforcement of the law in response to a porn trade association group’s lawsuit. Opponents argued it could endanger users’ privacy as the proposed age verification tool uses a government-issued identification that is traceable. “This is a huge and important victory against the rising tide of censorship online,” said the executive director of the Free Speech Coalition.
