So how broad is this?

Can a state now require you to verify your age and identity to read a newspaper they don't like?

Not unless that newspaper is "more than one-third sexual material".

The archive link shared by heythere22 (which seems to be a different story) discusses this.

The published plan from the heritage foundation includes a few more steps: (1) redefine obscenity to include pornography, effectively banning it via interstate commerce laws (2) extend this to anything that could “be harmful to minors”, which will certainly include information about groups they don’t like, starting with LGBTQ+.

This is already laid out in Project 2025.

> Transgender people will see their existence denied and their rights stripped away under Project 2025. The authors equate ‘transgender ideology’ to pornography, calling for it to be outlawed. While the far-right policy agenda cannot directly ban transgenderism, it aims to do so indirectly by labeling it as pornography, and then outlawing pornography itself – effectively erasing transgender identity from the U.S.

This shit is genuinely terrifying and it seems like no one is doing anything to stop it.
