Abstract

This article examines new state laws requiring online age verification and how they are in contrast to the currently upheld United States Supreme Court decision on Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union in 1997. Topics include the Communications Decency Act of 1996 in regards to the Reno decision, problems surrounding age verification both in its execution and the theory behind it--specifically how it interacts with free speech-- and the workarounds of these new state laws in respect to the Reno ruling.
