Attorneys representing adult entertainers, erotica authors and sex educators on Wednesday asked a judge to put on hold a Utah law requiring porn and other adult websites verify user ages.
The 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. Their request to put the law under injunction comes less than a month after Utah's age verification law took effect and prompted them to file a lawsuit.
