币界网报道：A federal judge has temporarily blocked Georgia's new age verification law that would have required users to verify their age to access certain online content, including blockchain and Web3 platforms. The controversial law, which was set to take effect this month, faced immediate legal challenges from digital rights groups who argued it violated free speech protections under the First Amendment. U.S. District Judge Sarah Geraghty issued a preliminary injunction, stating the plaintiffs demonstrated a likelihood of success in their constitutional challenge. The law would have mandated websites containing more than 33.3% adult content to implement strict age verification measures, potentially affecting numerous blockchain-based platforms hosting NFT marketplaces or decentralized social media. Critics warned the legislation could force platforms to collect excessive personal data, creating privacy risks while failing to effectively protect minors. Georgia's Attorney General's office defended the law as necessary to shield children from harmful content, but the judge noted the broad language could encompass substantial amounts of non-pornographic material. The injunction will remain in place while the court considers the full merits of the case, marking another setback for similar age verification laws being pursued in multiple states. Legal experts suggest this ruling could influence pending challenges to comparable legislation in Texas and other jurisdictions. The decision comes as Web3 advocates increasingly voice concerns about how such laws might impact decentralized platforms that cannot easily implement centralized verification systems.
