A group representing the adult film industry is asking a judge to put on hold a Utah law requiring porn and other adult websites verify user ages.
SALT LAKE CITY — Attorneys representing adult entertainers, erotica authors and sex educators on Wednesday asked a judge to put on hold aThe Free Speech Coalition and its co-plaintiffs argued the new state law violates their clients' First Amendment rights and intrudes on the privacy of individuals who want to view sexually explicit materials.
The request to delay the law echoes the Free Speech Coalition's original complaint because requests for injunctions are evaluated in part on parties' chances to succeed in their lawsuits. They argued that the law unconstitutionally burdens website operators, content creators and anyone who peruses certain corners of the internet.
"The State of Utah, meanwhile, has no legitimate interest in the enforcement of a patently unconstitutional statute that has been in effect for just a few weeks," it adds. States have recently attempted to strengthen enforcement, with lawmakers in Utah making the state the second in the nation to require adult websites verify the ages of visitors earlier this year. The lawmakers argued that the widespread availability of explicit materials online could harm children. Republican state Sen. Todd Weiler, the law's sponsor, likened it to identification requirements for alcohol or online gambling.
