State laws requiring pornography websites to verify the age of users will remain in place following a major decision the Supreme Court issued on June 27.
The case, Free Speech Coalition Inc. v. Paxton, concerns a Texas law known as HB 1181 that imposes $10,000-per-day fines on website operators that fail to implement age-verification measures. The penalty rises to $250,000 if minors access sexual material covered by the law.
