VICTORY! Supreme Court Decision Protects Children, Upholding Age Verification Law
Damien was a self-described “happy child with big dreams for the future.” He was the top student in his class.
That was before he discovered pornography.
Like so many others, Damien came across pornography as a child. He was only 12 years old when he began using it regularly. After that, his grades dropped dramatically. He became anxious, depressed, and lethargic. He had difficulty interacting with others or even performing basic daily tasks.
Damien tried to quit pornography. For years, he employed every strategy he could think of. But he continually failed.
Now consider: What if we rewound the clock? What if Damien never became addicted to pornography to begin with?
What if there were protective measures in place, so that Damien was never exposed to pornography as a child? Never found this content at a time when his developing brain was so susceptible to addiction?
Well, the Supreme Court has just upheld a law that could have protected Damien!
Yesterday, our country’s highest court ruled that Texas’s age verification law, which requires that pornography websites verify users are 18+ before granting them access, is CONSTITUTIONAL! The Court ruled that requiring age verification to protect children from explicit content does not violate free speech, as opponents argued.
Read on for a deep dive into this historic victory.
