Porn is speech. This has been litigated several times by SCOTUS.
Obscenity is not speech.
- inigyou 3mo agoIt appears that in Texas, porn is considered obscenity.
- otterley 3mo agoTexas can't make that decision unilaterally. They'll have the First Amendment to contend with. Besides, that's not even what this case is about. This is about access to pornography, not about the right to produce or disseminate it with or to consenting adults. Even if the latter rights are protected under the First Amendment, the courts have never said that Federal and state governments cannot restrict minors from accessing it.
