Yesterday, NetChoice won a permanent block of Louisiana's age verification law.

The Court ruled that the law, which conditioned Louisianans’ ability to access protected speech online on their willingness to hand over sensitive government ID, violates the First Amendment. buff.ly/MtZNKCU

The tragic demise of iRobot, a flagship American tech company, shows how misguided EU antitrust efforts cost hundreds of American jobs and handed the robotics market over to China.

Today, a court permanently blocked the censorship provision of Maryland's digital ad tax in NetChoice's case w/@USChamber @ccianet. Complaining about taxes is a “grand American political tradition,” and we're proud to defend your right to do so.
