Attorneys representing adult entertainers, erotica authors and sex educators have asked a judge to put on hold a Utah law requiring porn and other adult websites to verify user ages.
The law marks Utah’s latest attempt to combat pornography, building off years of anti-porn efforts in the state’s GOP-controlled Legislature.
“The Act is a poorly crafted solution to a poorly articulated problem, and the public interest is not advanced by the endurance of an overly restrictive, vague, and overbroad statute that imperils the rights of Utahns to provide and receive constitutionally-protected material over the internet,” they argued in a request to delay implementing the law that was filed in federal court on Wednesday.
Those groups, the request to put the law on hold said, incur “constitutional injury every day the Act remains in effect.”
