Today’s decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is a direct blow to the free speech rights of adults. The Court ruled that “no person—adult or child—has a First Amendment right to access speech that is obscene to minors without first submitting proof of age.” This ruling allows states to enact onerous age-verification rules that will block adults from accessing lawful speech, curtail their ability to be anonymous, and jeopardize their data security and privacy. These are real and immense burdens on adults, and the Court was wrong to ignore them in upholding Texas’ law.
Here's that nanny state Republicans were always talking about

Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.
Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.
Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.
The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?
I watched thousands of people die online in snuff films growing up, was in some live streams where people offed themselves too.
It was pretty common in my day, you'd see kids exchanging execution videos on the bus to and from school and whatnot. Some kid even had the police called on him at one point for the files he had downloaded on school computers.
Incredibly easy to find online and these websites won't listen to a state actor about putting an age limit on their content, plus surprise surprise they host porn too.
So when little texas timmy goes to bat he's gonna come across a helluva lot more fucked up shit than pornhub has to offer.
But hey FWIW with the porn and snuff, I'm a functional member of society, I don't commit crimes or abuse others and I don't vote conservative!

Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?

No, words don’t count as graphic violence lol. Graphic violence is defined as being in visual media, not written.

What's funny is the Bible is worse than most of the books that are banned as far as depravity goes.

But there's no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We're a pretty bass ackwards society.
ironic you self censored "ass backwards" on a comment calling out censorship.

if that's the case, I hope you fall down the stairs and snap your tibia out of your skin and have to lay in your own pooling blood crying out in pain and anguish waiting for someone to call for help. only to have waited so long that you throw up on yourself and your gaping wound whilst you go into shock from blood loss.
how's that make you feel?

Pretty sure "Nanny state" is a popular category of porn

YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+, Max, etc. And that’s before we get into the bad faith false equivalence of comparing violence to nudity and sexuality. One is a natural and beautiful part of life, the other is literally violence.

Putting it in the same perspective as the number that access porn.

You think reading that would make me feel the same as watching a video of that happening to someone?
