Defend strict scrutiny for age verification laws
To: Justices Court
From: A constituent in Hinesville, GA

I'm still writing in favor of strict scrutiny for age verification laws. Imagine if strict scrutiny was overturned and age verification was applied to faith-based right wing content, like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist. I could argue that the First Amendment's protections can be thrown out because I have a compelling interest to protect children from right wing rhetoric like NoFap or NCOSE'S site. This would quickly spiral out of control because government officials can use rational basis to censor the speech of their opponents. Strict scrutiny for age verification laws is in the best interest of the public. The government should promote education for parents as to how to use parental controls on the devices of their children and be provided aid and incentives to do so.
