Has anyone ever come out on top in a confrontation with the porn industry?

From the article

At least five other states have enacted similar age-verification laws aimed at blocking access to pornography sites: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and Virginia. Pornhub, for one, after complying with the Louisiana law, subsequently opted to block access to users the other four states.

So only one of 6 have been overturned. And the others have existed longer.

Virginia came later, for what it's worth.
