First, it argues, the law applies to any website with more than one-third content that is inappropriate for minors and therefore restricts adults’ access to speech that is not sexual and “not even arguably obscene for minors.” It also fails to target search engines and social media sites that make available the same type of content, the coalition says.

The group argues that Texas should adopt less restrictive and more effective alternatives to age verification, such as content-filtering software that blocks access to certain internet content that’s been used in homes, schools and libraries.

The Texas law calls on sites to verify users’ government-issued identification or use another commercially available system that uses public or private age-related data. The sites are not allowed under the law to keep the data it collects.
