NEWS: SCOTUS allows Mississippi to enforce a restrictive internet-access law without explanation. Kavanaugh writes to say it is likely unconstitutional but he is voting to allow it, only repeating the legal rule for his reasoning.

No one else wrote a word.

www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 25A97 NETCHOICE, LLC v. LYNN FITCH, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MISSISSIPPI ON APPLICATION TO VACATE STAY [August 14, 2025] The application to vacate stay presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to the Court is denied. JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring in the denial of the application to vacate stay. I concur in the Court's denial of NetChoice's application for interim relief because NetChoice has not sufficiently demonstrated that the balance of harms and equities favors it at this time. See Response in Opposition 37-39. To be clear, NetChoice has, in my view, demonstrated that it is likely to succeed on the merits-namely, that enforcement of the Mississippi law would likely violate its members' First Amendment rights under this Court's precedents. See Moody v. NetChoice, LLC, 603 U. S. 707 (2024); Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Assn., 564 U. S. 786 (2011); cf. Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, 606 U.S. _ (2025). Given those precedents, it is no surprise that the District Court in this case enjoined enforcement of the Mississippi law and that seven other Federal District Courts have likewise enjoined enforcement of similar state laws. See No. 1:24-cv-170 (SD Miss., June 18, 2025); NetChoice, LLC v. Yost, 716 F. Supp. 3d 539 (SD Ohio 2024); Computer & Communications Industry Assn. v. Paxton, 747 F. Supp. 3d 1011 (WD Tex. 2024); NetChoice, LLC v. Reyes, 748 F. Supp. 3d 1105 (Utah 2024); NetChoice, LLC v. Bonta, 770 F. Supp. 3d 1164 (ND Cal. 2025); NETCHOICE, LLC v. FITCH KAVANAUGH, J., concurring NetChoice, LLC v. Griffin, No. 5:23-cv-5105 (WD Ark., Mar. 31, 2025); Computer & Communications Industry Assn. v. Uthmeier, _ F. Supp. 3d _ No. 4:21-Cv-438 (ND Fla., June 3, 2025); Net Choice v. Carr, _ F. Supp. 3d — No. 1:25-cv-2422 (ND Ga., June 26, 2025). In short, under this Court's case law as it currently stands, the Mississippi law is likely unconstitutional. Nonetheless, because NetChoice has not sufficiently demonstrated that the balance of harms and equities favors it at this time, I concur in the Court's denial of the application for interim relief.

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

SCREEN ACT: -full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) -Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft. -id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation -draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving KOSA: -creates "duty of care,” meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors. -who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration -it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed. -the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"
