Listen "Big Tech Just Sued Texas Over Age Verification Law (We Called It)"

Episode Synopsis

Just after covering Texas's age verification law requiring ID for ALL apps, Big Tech (Apple, Google, and others) has sued the state, calling it a "broad censorship regime" that violates the First Amendment. A separate lawsuit was also filed by student advocacy groups and Texas minors, both citing the same constitutional concerns we warned about in the original video. We break down both lawsuits, what they mean for the January 1st deadline, and why this fight matters beyond just Texas.Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources to protect your data and reclaim your digital identity.📱 RESOURCES IN VIDEO:• https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/10/big-tech-sues-texas-says-age-verification-law-is-broad-censorship-regime/🔎 RELATED VIDEOS:• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP-kqEHirTM• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRvqdLsnsKY⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction00:20 Here’s What’s New02:12 Calling Out Hypocrisy 02:53 Wait…A Second Lawsuit!04:30 My Analysis & Thoughts05:24 Timelines to Follow06:06 What We Do Now!🔐 TECHLORE RESOURCES:• Homepage: https://techlore.tech• Go Incognito Course: https://techlore.tech/goincognito• Forum: https://discuss.techlore.tech• Privacy Tools: https://techlore.tech/resources🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE:• All Methods: https://techlore.tech/support• Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/techlore• YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs6KfncB4OV6Vug4o_bzijg/join📺 MORE TECHLORE:• Surveillance Report: https://www.youtube.com/@surveillancereport• Techlore Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@techloreclips🌐 FOLLOW ELSEWHERE:• PeerTube: https://techlore.tv• Mastodon: https://social.lol/@techlore• Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/techlore.tech• Twitter: https://twitter.com/TechloreInc• Telegram: https://t.me/techlorefeed#texas #bigtech #ageverification...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsMt-KMeS-g
