The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined a request from the inappropriate content industry to block a Texas age-verification rule, allowing the law to stand and temporarily derailing the efforts of inappropriate content 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 inappropriate content trade association and several inappropriate contentography creators.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has defended the law, HB 1181, since its passage last summer. The measure requires inappropriate content 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 inappropriate contentography companies in order to enforce the age-verification law.
