The tech industry group NetChoice filed a lawsuit in federal court against Mississippi over a new law requiring age verification for users of websites and digital services to access protected speech, arguing that it violates the First Amendment by limiting online speech for minors and adults. The law, set to take effect on July 1, aims to protect children from explicit content but has faced opposition from tech companies like Google, Snap Inc., and Meta. Similar laws in other states have been blocked due to concerns of censorship and privacy issues.
