Victory for Free Speech: Texas Anti-Porn Law Blocked

A federal judge has blocked a Texas law that aimed to restrict access to adult websites, just one day before it was set to go into effect. The decision could have implications for similar legislation in other states. The law, which required age ID verification on websites with adult content, was challenged by the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and other plaintiffs who argued that it violated the First Amendment. The judge agreed with the FSC's objections, stating that the law was both ineffective and invasive, and overstepped free speech protections. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for free speech advocates and may impact similar laws in other states.
