The Mississippi law in question actually requires age verification for social media sites, not porn.

The supreme court has chosen not to pause the law going into effect until it gets onto their docket, but they've signaled that they think it's likely unconstitutional. I'm not going to get into how weird that is, but that's where we are right now. For the time being the law stands until it's struck down, if that's what happens.

It's a case that has two opposing legal frameworks: first amendment rights, and the reduced rights afforded to minors. It will be an interesting one that, if the Mississippi law is upheld it will have some REALLY significant downstream effects in law as relates to the internet.
