During a recent Supreme Court session, Justice Clarence Thomas raised concerns about applying a 1968 Supreme Court decision to modern internet-related cases. The case in question, Ginsberg v. New York, dealt with the sale of pornography in physical stores and the requirement for age verification.
Justice Thomas highlighted the significant differences between the 1968 case and current internet scenarios, where websites attract millions of users and generate billions of page views. He questioned the relevance of a precedent set in an era when the scale and nature of online platforms were unimaginable.
