Can Texas and other red states limit children from instant access to vast amounts of online pornography? The Supreme Court will decide.

A majority of the Supreme Court signaled Wednesday that Texas may be permitted to require some form of age verification for pornographic sites, but left open the possibility that deeper First Amendment questions may not be resolved immediately.

The Supreme Court weighed whether an explosion in online pornography requires repudiating the court’s precedents concerning sexual content as the justices Wednesday heard arguments in a challenge to Texas’s age-verification law for porn websites.

The high court held a hearing about a Texas law that requires age verification to access sexual content online, in a legal challenge from the adult industry.

Invoking older examples of accessing pornographic materials, justices grappled with the constitutionality of a law that requires adults to input their age into explicit websites

Amy Coney Barrett, who has 7 kids, took issue with the idea that blocking content is a workable approach. And Sam Alito noted parents often aren't tech savvy.
