An advocacy organization that represents the adult film industry has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block a new Louisiana law that would force pornographic websites to verify a user’s age before granting access.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) earlier this month signed a new law that would allow the state’s attorney general to investigate and fine pornographic websites that do not comply with age verification requirements. Companies that knowingly fail to gather age data would be fined up to $5,000 a day for noncompliance.
