The law would require a “Texas Health and Human Services Warning” on all porn sites.

    Tobacco is not speech.

    Edit: plus one is an economic regulation .The other is not. Like, you can smoke tobacco at really any age. Just can buy it at any age.

        You’re still ignoring my first point which is the much more important distinction. It’s not speech.

          It’s not a free speech issue.

            The literal lawsuit says otherwise. It’s the first claim they wrote.

              I have my doubts it’ll succeed on free speech arguments alone.

                I have my doubts that people should comment on things they clearly haven’t read, but here we are.
