  • The Supreme Court heard arguments in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton on Wednesday, a major First Amendment case.

The article from Slate discusses a Supreme Court case involving Texas' H.B. 1181, a law that requires adult websites to verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content. Justice Samuel Alito, during the oral arguments, expressed skepticism about the law's effectiveness and its potential infringement on First Amendment rights. He questioned whether the law would actually protect children or if it would merely push them towards less regulated, potentially more dangerous online spaces. Alito also raised concerns about the privacy implications of mandatory age verification, suggesting that such laws could lead to government surveillance of what individuals view online. The discussion highlighted the tension between protecting minors and upholding free speech, with Alito indicating that the court might be inclined to strike down the law due to these constitutional concerns.
