Challenge to Texas age-verification on porn sites comes to Supreme Court. (www.scotusblog.com)

A trade group for the adult entertainment industry will appear at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in its challenge to a Texas law that requires pornography sites to verify the age of their users before providing access – for example, by requiring a government-issued identification. The law applies to any website whose content is one-third or more “harmful to minors” – a definition that the challengers say would include most sexually suggestive content, from nude modeling to romance novels and R-rated movies.

It isn't in their best interests to threaten the loony Christian sects that are one of the right wing's favourite brainwashing tools. Members of those sects rely on authority figures to "interpret" the Bible for them instead of actually paying attention to its content, but if you try to take it away from them, they'll throw a fit like a toddler does when you take away a toy they've been ignoring. Restricting access to the Bible in the present day would make religious brainwashing more difficult and create more people who actually think for themselves, which is anathema to bad governments like Texas'.
