The case involves the Free Speech Coalition, an adult industry trade group, in addition to several adult content companies and an anonymous content creator, that sued Texas over a law that requires age verification on websites where at least one-third of content is deemed “harmful to children” — defined in the bill exclusively as sexual content. The court's decision in Free Speech Coalition et al. v. Paxton will have nationwide implications as 19 states have passed age verification laws, many of them similar to Texas’s law. When the Texas district court initially enjoined Texas’s law, the judge applied strict scrutiny, the most rigorous standard for reviewing laws that affect free speech rights.
