Pornhub ‘ban’ in Indiana blocked by judge
SUMMARY: A judge blocked an Indiana law requiring residents to upload IDs to access porn sites, labeling it “facially unconstitutional.” Senate Bill 17, set to take effect on July 1, demanded age verification via sensitive documents like driver's licenses for explicit content. Proponents claimed it protected minors, but critics argued it violated the First Amendment and risked data theft. The Free Speech Coalition sued, advocating for adults' rights to access the internet freely. The judge highlighted the law's broad scope and ease of circumvention, ruling it imprecise and ineffective in protecting minors. The injunction remains until a final judgment.

SUMMARY: Elizabeth Wolf, a 42-year-old from Grand Prairie, is back in jail with a higher bond for attempting to drown a three-year-old Palestinian-American girl at a Euless apartment pool in May.

Initially charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child on a $40,000 bond, her bond was increased to $1 million and $15,000, respectively. The Texas Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Euless police are urging the Tarrant County DA to add hate crime charges and seek a federal investigation.
