Summary
The Supreme Court signaled support for state-enforced age-verification laws for pornographic websites, as argued in Texas’ case.
Conservative justices cited the surge in children’s access to online pornography and technological changes, calling for reconsideration of past 1st Amendment rulings.
Texas’ law requires websites to confirm users are 18+, a model supported by 23 Republican-led states.
Critics argue it could chill adult free speech, but justices noted filtering software is ineffective. The court may uphold the law or send it back for further review by the 5th Circuit.
Tired of it being everybody else’s job to “protect the children” rather than their parents.
“but justices noted filtering software is ineffective”
lol
But they’re doing it, anyway!
Let’s not let something like justice get in the way of expensive useless bullshit and graft, it’s the Roberts court
Supreme Court rules once again that American citizens have no right to privacy.
Do changes in technology justify curbing the second amendment, too, or just the first? I mean, guns have certainly changed a lot since the bill of rights was written.
I’m sure it doesn’t apply to only the 1st amendment! They’ll apply it to all the other amendments too (unless they don’t want to)
Can’t wait for all Red states to instantly mirror the Taliban government.
The dominionist movement took a lot of lessons from Iran, and seek to create a similar society but with christianity instead of islam.
So what they’re saying is that times have changed and things that used to be considered rights guaranteed by the Constitution need to change with the times.
I’m sure this logic can be applied to other rights as well, as long as those rights aren’t laid out in any amendments that come after 1 and before 3.
Or between 12 and 14.
This is probably one step on the path to the xtianist wishes of outlawing porn so it can be weaponized only against certain groups.
Also, when dumbass redpilled angry young males bitch that they “didn’t vote for this”…
I like that the arguement is that there are technical limitations to age restricting graphic content, so the best course of action is limiting people’s rights.
Seems like people’s rights should be more important.
If they actually cared, just publish a standard that sites declare their minimum age range. Then make apple and Google add a “child mode” that filters this at the DNS level when you set up a device. As it’s opt-in, sites would be responsible for what they’re declaring
Tech savvy kids will probably be able to get past it, but let’s be honest… Nothing would stop them
Honestly, I’d even support something like this, and I think you’d get voluntary adoption. Advertisers would like this, it’s not very burdensome technically, and it would give a safer legal framework for everyone
But of course, this isn’t really about the kids…
Oh yeah, I agree that there are many ways of approaching this.
The SC works for the blyats and CCP. Fucking traitor cunts.
Idiot tax as far as I’m concerned. Get a VPN.
You know they can just outlaw VPNs as they did it in many countries already…
Yeah but they won’t cuz this bill is bullshit virtue signaling
