Lawmakers may have banned “pornographic or indecent” books in 2022, but the law’s implementation has not been smooth sailing.

The dismissal poses a setback for First Amendment and digital privacy advocates, who argue the law unfairly discriminates against certain kinds of speech, violates the First Amendment rights of porn providers and intrudes on the privacy of individuals who want to view sexually explicit materials.

As Utah lawmakers debate which books should and should not be in school libraries, the focus is often on removals. Librarians, however, say a lot of thought goes into choosing titles in the first place.

In response to a suit challenging the new age verification law and a request for an injunction, the Utah Attorney General’s office says the plaintiffs don’t have grounds to sue.

The group argues that the harms the law inflicts on adult website operators were well underway and would continue over the years it takes to resolve the case.

Gov. Spencer Cox held nothing back in his monthly news conference when it came to federal inaction. On immigration, he said Congress “should all get fired.”

Lawmakers likened the new age requirement, which took effect May 3, to those for alcohol or online gambling and argued that stronger protections were needed to shield kids from pornography.
