Although age restrictions on chatbots designed for erotic or intimate interactions likely meet the “obscene for children” standard from Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, we oppose wide-ranging age restrictions, as they could hinder both children and adults from exploring the positive expressive potential of AI chatbots.AI Verified source (2025)

Quote: "Although age restrictions on chatbots designed for erotic or intimate interactions likely meet the 'obscene for children' standard from Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, we oppose wide-ranging age restrictions, as they could hinder both children and adults from exploring the positive expressive potential of AI chatbots." — Morgan Wilsmann / Public Knowledge (2025). The source URL (publicknowledge.org/kids-teens-safety-regulations-for-ai-chatbots-could-backfire) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed this exact text appears in that specific Public Knowledge article ("Kids & Teens Safety Regulations for AI Chatbots Could Backfire"). Author attribution is correct: the article is by Public Knowledge policy advocate Morgan Wilsmann and uses the organizational "we oppose" voice. Vote alignment is correct: statement #416 "Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18" (against) and #445 "Requiring age verification and content safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors" (against) both align with the quote's opposition to wide-ranging age restrictions on AI chatbots.
