The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined a request from the porn industry to block a Texas age-verification rule, allowing the law to stand and temporarily derailing the efforts of porn creators to see the new safety measure scuttled.

The court said in an unsigned order without comment that it was denying a request from the Free Speech Coalition to issue a stay on the law. The Free Speech Coalition includes a porn trade association and several pornography creators.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has defended the law, HB 1181, since its passage last summer. The measure requires porn websites to institute “reasonable age-verification methods” to ensure minors are not accessing explicit sexual content on their sites.

The attorney general has sued multiple pornography companies in order to enforce the age-verification law. He argued earlier this year that pornography sites “are on the run because Texas has a law that aims to prevent them from showing harmful, obscene material to children.”

I guess it might be triggering for some people?
Well the word is all over the place and in Christian articles. A word triggering? :scratch: Is there a better term for what it is?

Some people may have addiction problems and that's why p*rn is blocked. That's my best guess. I really don't know for sure.

Well there are a lot of good articles where we are making headway defeating this scourge and the reader has to search it out themselves.
