NASHVILLE — A Tennessee district court has blocked Tennessee’s age verification law following the filing of a motion by the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) for a preliminary injunction.
A Tennessee district court has blocked the state’s age-verification law, the Protect Tennessee Minors Act, from going into effect on January 1, following a motion for preliminary injunction by Free Speech Coalition. FSC sued the Tennessee Attorney General in November, calling the criminal law unconstitutional.
“The legislature has a compelling interest in protecting children from harmful content, and that is uncontested,” wrote Chief United States District Court Judge Sheryl H. Lipman in her decision granting the injunction. “But in its attempt to protect children, the State will unavoidably suppress a large amount of speech that adults have a First Amendment right to give and receive. The legislature’s goal, however admirable, does not allow it to undermine an adult’s freedom of speech. Neither the legislature nor this Court can turn a blind eye to the Constitution.”
“We applaud the Court’s decision,” says Free Speech Coalition Executive Director Alison Boden. “This is a deeply flawed law that put website operators at risk of criminal prosecution for something as trivial as a mention of the human nipple. I cannot express enough gratitude to our legal team, especially Gill Sperlein, who flew to Tennessee on the eve of the Christmas holiday to argue this case. These victories come with long hours and hard work, and can only be achieved through the financial support of our members.”
Free Speech Coalition is challenging similar laws in Louisiana, Texas, Utah, Indiana, Montana, and Florida. The Texas case, Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, will be heard by the United States Supreme Court on January 15, 2025.
Joining Free Speech Coalition as co-plaintiffs are creator and educator MelRose Michaels; sex education platform O.school (Deep Technologies, Inc.); sexual wellness retailer Adam & Eve (PHE, Inc.); and adult fan platform JustFor.Fans (JFF Publications, LLC).
Representing Free Speech Coalition and its co-plaintiffs in this case are Jeff Sandman of Webb Daniel Friedlander LLP, D. Gill Sperlein of the Law Office of D. Gill Sperlein, and Edward M. Bearman of the Law Office of Edward M. Bearman.

BERLIN — Germany is moving closer to implementing rules that would prohibit financial institutions from providing payment services to adult sites deemed to have inadequate age verification systems and would also make it easier for the government to target websites mirroring the content of such sites.
Earlier this month, the heads of government of the German federal states agreed on proposed amendments to Germany’s Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Human Dignity and Minors in Broadcasting and Telemedia. Those amendments are expected to be officially approved by the heads of government in March before being sent to the German state parliaments for ratification.
As XBIZ reported in 2023, Germany’s Broadcasting Commission of the Federal States proposed the amendments with the stated aim of protecting minors. That proposal came amid a relentless campaign against adult sites by the head of the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia, Tobias Schmid, an anti-porn crusader whose efforts resulted in network blocks of sites like xHamster and Pornhub.
At the time, some German legal experts questioned whether German media regulators have the authority to regulate foreign adult sites.
The amendments would also impose sweeping new rules requiring content filtering at the operating system level based on age labeling by websites and apps. Sites and apps that do not institute mandated labels would automatically be blocked when filtering is enabled.
Major tech companies, including Microsoft and Google, are decrying these unprecedented provisions as impractical, infeasible, and incompatible with European Union laws. German tech news site Heise Online has called for the European Commission to intervene.
German adult industry attorney Marko Dörre called the amendments “a huge attack on the adult entertainment industry.”
“German lawmakers have lost all sense of proportion,” he said.
While the OS-level filtering aspects of the amendments are facing sharp criticism from influential stakeholders, it is unclear whether successful resistance to those provisions would also block implementation of the payment and content mirroring provisions specifically targeting adult sites.
