Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy

Today’s decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is a direct blow to the free speech rights of adults. This ruling allows states to enact onerous age-verification rules that will block adults from accessing lawful speech, curtail their ability to be anonymous, and jeopardize their data security and privacy.

@eff this has nothing to do with preventing harm to minors and everything to do with the Christian right attempting to ban pornography by deliberately imposing exactly the burden the EFF is railing against. They know exactly what the impact will be to our first amendment rights, that's what they want.
