Texas can again enforce its new law requiring people to prove they are 18 or older to access online porn.
The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the state’s request last week to lift a temporary injunction that had blocked implementation of House Bill 1181. Signed into law in June, it requires any commercial entity that publishes or distributes pornographic content online to use age-verification methods to bar users under 18.

I'd think these laws could be challenged under tenth amendment/interstate commerce clause.

Maybe Pornhub could argue these laws unfairly restrict their potential earnings by scaring away interstate customers who don't want to be identified or have thier data at risk.

I may just keep an eye out for a challenging case.

Pornhub already argued this and there was a temp hold on the law that was lifted recently.
The article above talks about it.
