Challenge to Texas age-verification on porn sites comes to Supreme Court. (www.scotusblog.com)

A trade group for the adult entertainment industry will appear at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in its challenge to a Texas law that requires pornography sites to verify the age of their users before providing access – for example, by requiring a government-issued identification. The law applies to any website whose content is one-third or more “harmful to minors” – a definition that the challengers say would include most sexually suggestive content, from nude modeling to romance novels and R-rated movies.

Of course it is protected.

Membership is not protected status, any company could publish their membership roll unless their agreements specifically say they cannot and that's very rare.

No they can't. Please stop making stuff up.

Pornhub cannot go around publishing info about specific accounts holders, such as their name and job.

It's actually insane that you think that's the case.
