The US Supreme Court upheld a Texas law that requires porn sites to verify user age, rejecting arguments that the measure violates the speech rights of adults by requiring them to submit identification online.

Supreme Court rules Texas can require age verification on pornography websites, allowing penalties up to $250,000 if minors access explicit content due to non-compliance.

Pornhub was among the plaintiffs challenging a Texas law that requires users of adult sites to submit personal information proving they are 18 or older.
