Supreme Court (SCOTUS) upholds a Texas law that requires porn websites to verify that their visitors are 18 or older, rejecting a First Amendment challenge to the law (www.eff.org)

Today’s decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is a direct blow to the free speech rights of adults. The Court ruled that “no person—adult or child—has a First Amendment right to access speech that is obscene to minors without first submitting proof of age.” This ruling allows states to enact onerous age-verification rules that will block adults from accessing lawful speech, curtail their ability to be anonymous, and jeopardize their data security and privacy. These are real and immense burdens on adults, and the Court was wrong to ignore them in upholding Texas’ law.

if that's the case, I hope you fall down the stairs and snap your tibia out of your skin and have to lay in your own pooling blood crying out in pain and anguish waiting for someone to call for help. only to have waited so long that you throw up on yourself and your gaping wound whilst you go into shock from blood loss.

how's that make you feel?

You think reading that would make me feel the same as watching a video of that happening to someone?

nope.

you clearly lack the imagination and intelligence.

Im sorry but no amount of text descriptions of gore or extreme violence can even remotely compare to photos or video of said gore or violence. Ever.

Thinking it can demonstrates a lack of intelligence.

Thinking it can, demonstrates a lack of intelligence.

Did you just add punctuation incorrectly in an attempt to prove your intelligence/downplay mine?

You do understand that the sentence you just wrote is grammatically incorrect, don’t you?
