18 U.S.C. § 2257 · FEDERAL

Your content is constitutionally protected.

The First Amendment does not have a carve-out for adult creators. Here is what that actually means.

THE BASELINE

Non-obscene adult content is protected speech

The Supreme Court has repeatedly confirmed that sexually explicit content that is not legally obscene receives full First Amendment protection. Your content, unless it meets the specific Miller v. California test, is constitutionally protected expression.

Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973)

THE SHIFT · JUNE 2025

The rules just changed

In Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, the Supreme Court upheld age verification laws under intermediate scrutiny, departing from decades of precedent that applied strict scrutiny to laws burdening adult access to protected speech. The First Amendment still protects your content. But the legal landscape shifted.

Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, 606 U.S. 461 (2025)

THE ONGOING FIGHT

FOSTA-SESTA chills protected speech

FOSTA-SESTA removed Section 230 protections for platforms hosting content that 'facilitates prostitution,' causing platforms to over-censor legal adult content far beyond what the law requires. This chilling effect on constitutionally protected speech is documented and ongoing.

Woodhull Freedom Foundation v. United States, 72 F.4th 1286 (D.C. Cir. 2023)
