Today, True North Legal filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court, along with Kansas Family Voice, representing Minnesota Family Council and thirty-two other family policy groups across the country in Free Speech Coalition, Inc v. Paxton.
This case involves a legal challenge to a Texas age verification law which creates online safeguards and protections for children against the pornography industry. Increasing access to technology demands protecting children from tech giants who have done little to shield children and arguably prey on innocent minds.
As reflected in our brief, studies show that online pornography is more accessible now than ever before, and in the very least, children are stumbling on to it by accident.
Our amicus brief argues in support of the Texas age verification law, explaining the studies that show the harmful effects of online pornography on children and it’s addictive nature, as well as the legislative authority to pass these laws that have been enacted across the country with bipartisan support.
