Adult Entertainment Industry Challenges Indiana's Age Verification Law in Federal Court

Pornography websites argue the new law infringes on constitutional rights and poses privacy risks.

  • Indiana's law mandates age verification for accessing adult content online, set to take effect on July 1.
  • Plaintiffs claim the law violates First, Fifth, Eighth, and 14th Amendments, and the Communications Decency Act.
  • The Free Speech Coalition and major porn sites argue the law is vague and imposes excessive costs.
  • Opponents say the law could expose personal data to online threats and is easily circumvented.
  • Supporters, including Indiana's AG, argue the law is essential to protect children from harmful content.
