The state of Utah is being sued over its new age verification law requiring companies that publish adult content to verify users’ ages before allowing them to view material on their sites.

The Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, filed a federal lawsuit on May 3 alongside Andrea Barrica, founder of the sex education site O.school; journalist, educator, and content creator Charyn “Ryn” Pfeuffer; Utah-based erotica writer D.S. Dawson; an anonymous Utah-based attorney identified as “John Doe;” and platform JustFor.Fan.
