Supreme Court rules Texas can require age verification on pornography websites, allowing penalties up to $250,000 if minors access explicit content due to non-compliance.

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a Texas law that requires age verification for pornographic websites in one of the most closely watched First Amendment cases to arrive at the high court in years.

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a Texas law that mandated websites with "sexual material harmful to minors" have age verification is constitutional.
