>Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a member of the court’s conservative wing, wrote a brief concurrence asserting that the Mississippi law is “likely unconstitutional” but said that the internet companies who sued had not “sufficiently demonstrated” that they would be harmed by a temporary order in favor of the state.
That seems important.
More so on the topic:
> an effort the state said is intended to protect children from online predators
I wonder with all this effort, are kids safer with these laws? I believe most abuse situations like this occur where the abuser is someone the child already knows right, not some internet ramdo?
I also think about the internet rando cases I see on my local news and honestly it appears in those cases the parents sit there and say "Watch your kids online, I didn't ... at all.". I'm not sure an unattended child is being saved by these laws.
Seems like a lot of these efforts are futile efforts to shield children FROM the internet, rather than equip them to make good choices.

Did platforms not bring up the ongoing expense of a verification system liability from system verification failures ongoing expense of securing verification data liability when verification data is exfiltrated ?
