The only reason the earlier age verification laws were upheld were because they narrowly targeted porn. This is an entirely unsurprising outcome.

I do not see how this is an argument. If porn can be narrowly targeted, why apps can not be targeted narrowly as well?

It seems to be more about harmonizing Texas law (SB2420) under the constraints of federal law (1A), so we will likely to see this question all the way to the USSC.

    Porn is a category; apps are a concept

    Like age laws for vape pens vs age laws for shopping.

    Presumably for the same reason why libraries can not be targeted narrowly

    "If porn can be narrowly targeted, why not books?"

    You cannot narrowly target a medium.
