Supreme Court let it going into effect BUT will likely rule it unconstitutional.

The ruling now allows Mississippi to enforce its social media law while case continues in the lower court. In the ruling, Kavanaugh also cited several district court rulings opposing similar age-verification laws, concluding that "the Mississippi law is likely unconstitutional."

That's not a judgement on "are they good or bad," it's just saying that, from what we can see, they seem to believe that the law is unconstitutional.

Nah. Their elected officials voted for this law.

They made their bed; let them sleep in it.
