Federal judge blocks Tennessee's age-verification law for porn sites, citing free speech concerns.

A federal judge largely blocked Tennessee's law requiring pornographic websites to verify visitors' ages before it took effect on January 1, ruling it likely violates free speech rights without effectively protecting minors. Similar laws are in effect in Florida and South Carolina, while the issue will be argued in the Supreme Court regarding Texas' law. The Free Speech Coalition is suing over Tennessee's law and others, claiming they are ineffective and unconstitutional.
