Big Tech sues Texas, says age-verification law is “broad censorship regime”

Big Tech companies have filed a lawsuit against Texas, arguing that the state's new age-verification law constitutes a broad censorship regime. They compare the law to the intrusive practice of checking IDs at bookstores and shopping malls, raising concerns about privacy and freedom of expression. This legal battle is significant as it highlights the ongoing tension between technology firms and state regulations, potentially setting a precedent for how digital platforms manage user access and content.
