The Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law requiring age verification for access to online pornography, a move that previously led Pornhub to cease operations in the state. The court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that adults do not have a First Amendment right to bypass age verification measures. This decision effectively allows Texas to enforce its law, aimed at preventing minors from accessing explicit content. The ruling's implications could extend beyond Texas, potentially influencing similar legislation in other states and reshaping the landscape of online adult entertainment.
