Why This Matters

• Every child deserves a safer online environment.
• Children are being exposed to online pornography at increasingly young ages.
• Early exposure can negatively affect healthy development, relationships, and mental well-being.

The Solution

• Pass New Jersey Senate Bill S1826.
• Require commercial pornographic websites to verify that users are 18 years or older before granting access.
• This uses the same common-sense approach already required for other adult-only products and venues.

The Facts

• 27 U.S. states have already enacted age-verification laws for pornography websites.
  On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of these laws in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton.
• A national poll found 83% of registered American voters support age verification for pornographic websites.
• Countries around the world are adopting stronger online child-protection measures.

We Already Verify Age For

• Alcohol
• Tobacco and nicotine
• Marijuana dispensaries
• Casinos
• Adult bookstores
• Strip clubs
• Rated-R movies   

Why shouldn't we verify age for online pornography, where children can access explicit material with just a click?

Our Goal
We are not seeking to ban legal adult content or restrict adult access. We simply believe that material intended for adults should include reasonable safeguards to keep it out of the hands of children.

Take Action
Help protect New Jersey's children by urging lawmakers to pass S1826.
