The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Texas law requiring robust age verification—via state ID, third-party services, or
biometrics—for websites with significant adult content. The 6–3 ruling prioritizes protecting minors but raises serious
privacy concerns, potentially obligating adults to surrender sensitive personal data tied to their browsing habits. It also
sets a precedent for similar laws in other states and highlights the urgent need for privacy-preserving, anonymous age
verification methods.
