FSC v. Paxton is the latest in a recent string of internet law conundrums, including a case over banning TikTok .

The case concerns Texas ’ HB 1181 , which requires sites with large proportion of sexually explicit content to verify users’ ages and post scientifically unproven health warnings about how porn is proven to harm human brain development.

Gautam Hans , Cornell University law professor and First Amendment expert, says that overall no clear winner emerged today .

Numerous states have passed age verification rules for online porn, and FSC v. Paxton could directly impact whether they stand up to legal challenges.

Hans says that if the court said that some form of age verification could be constitutional, it could make legislators far more likely to try.
