The recent court hearing on the Texas law regarding adult content websites concluded after a little over two hours of arguments. The lawyer representing the porn industry emphasized the need for the justices to address the perceived flaws in Texas' approach and stressed the importance of the Supreme Court in preserving the internet as a 'free medium of expression.'
Derek Shaffer, the lawyer advocating for the porn industry, raised concerns about the lack of privacy protections for adult users on the websites affected by the law. He also criticized the regulators' 'hostile' attitude towards adults who consume such content, suggesting that the law unfairly targeted and scolded them.
Shaffer highlighted the prevailing belief on the internet that it should remain a platform for free expression, with the responsibility falling on parents to monitor and restrict access to inappropriate content for children.
