🚨🚨BREAKING: Another NetChoice Victory for Free Speech & Families: Court HALTS Virginia’s Unconstitutional Attempt to Ration Online Speech 🏛️ ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Today, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted NetChoice’s request for a preliminary injunction, halting the enforcement of SB 854. This ruling prevents the state of Virginia from imposing unconstitutional restrictions on how its citizens access lawful speech online while NetChoice v. Miyares moves through the legal system. “The First Amendment is alive and well in Virginia. This ruling reaffirms that the government cannot ration access to lawful speech—even if it has noble intentions. Fundamentally, parents must stay in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions about their families,” said @Paul_Taske, Co-Director of the NetChoice Litigation Center. “Today’s decision underscores a core truth: unconstitutional laws do not help anyone. Moreover, laws requiring age-verification and other privacy-invasive measures actually make everyone less safe and more prone to data breaches. We are seeing this in real time as countries around the world have started mandating similar privacy-destroying age-verification regimes.”
