A Texas law requiring pornographic websites to verify the age of their users will remain after the Supreme Court declined an emergency appeal.  Here’s what the court said about House Bill 1181 and what happens next.

The need to protect children from adult content bumped against First Amendment rights and privacy concerns in a Tuesday hearing of the California Assembly’s Judiciary Committee.

The US Supreme Court yesterday denied a request to block a Texas law that requires age-verification systems on porn websites. The Supreme Court denial leaves in place, at least for now, an appeals court ruling that said Texas can enforce the law.
