Our guest today is Claire Morell, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Her new book,

The Tech Exit, a practical guide to freeing kids and teens

from smartphones, offers some very timely help to families looking for a screen detox. Claire,

thank you so much for joining us on this edition of the Federalist Radio Hour. Thanks so much

for having me. You bet.

It's a fascinating book, and we will delve into that momentarily. But I would like to begin with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that I think is so important

because, let's face it, as parents, we know what a cesspool the Internet can be.

With all of the good that it has offered, it certainly has offered its share of awful to the U.S. Supreme Court late last month at the end of its term upheld a Texas law requiring consumers to provide age verification in order to gain access to commercial websites that, frankly, are pornographic in nature, provides sexually explicit material. It was

the first time that the court has imposed requirements on adult consumers in order to protect minors from having such

access, it is worth noting that the majority opinion was six three. Claire, that means that

three of our justice is said it's a burden or too much of a burden to require these porn peddlers to verify the age of the

people going on to their sites. What do you think about the Supreme Court decision, what it

ultimately means? No, this is a huge, huge win for parents and families and children across America because it made

really clear that these age verification laws, they are constitutional.

It does not place an undue burden on adult privacy and speech.

That's what the court ruled.
