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.
