Let's make #porn really forbidden and thus even more desirable to the very children who are sometimes the ones who are teaching their parents how to use a VPN. Let's make Airdrop and USB thumb drives great again. Omg, what if kids start hiding pictures snipped from magazines behind their math homework in a Pee-Chee folder at #school? That is certainly not how I first saw images of penetrative #sex while attending a middle school. Certainly not.

Another section of the #law, which was blocked by a lower court, requires sites to post “sexual material health warnings” that make widely disputed claims that pornography is “potentially biologically addictive” & “proven to harm brain development.”

Sites that violate the law face fines of up to $10,000 a day.

In response to statutes in #Texas & elsewhere, #Pornhub cut off service to states requiring #AgeVerification.

The #porn industry plaintiffs, who formed an association called the #FreeSpeech Coalition, sued to block the TX #law before it went into effect in 2023. Derek L. Shaffer, an attorney for the coalition, argued the lower court ruling allowing the law could “open the door to an emerging wave of #regulations that imperil #FreeSpeech online.”

During oral arguments in January Justices indicated the landscape of the porn industry had rapidly transformed since the court last issued a major decision dealing with explicit material, about 20 years ago. Today, porn sites & smartphones allow easy access to adult content.

"We’re in an entirely different world,” #ClarenceThomas said. “Playboy was about squiggly lines on cable TV.” [he definitely knows]
