Supreme Court Weighs Texas Age-Verification Law for Adult Websites
The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments on Texas’ controversial law requiring age verification for access to adult websites. Known as HB 1181, the law aims to protect minors from harmful content by mandating users prove they’re over 18 before viewing explicit material.
While many support the law for prioritizing child safety, critics argue it infringes on First Amendment rights and raises privacy concerns. The case could set a nationwide precedent, as 19 other states consider similar measures.
A decision, expected by June 2025, may reshape how Americans access online content and balance safety with free speech.
