Although this wasn't a hugely popular topic, here's the follow-up: A Federal Court has deemed the law unconstitutional, see: [eweek.com...]

Quoted: "Today's order sheds light on how the law harms the rights of teenagers, parents and businesses to share information through legitimate and lawful commercial activities," Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, said in a statement. "We look forward to working with the Maine legislature to develop policy that will both protect the privacy of children while also respecting the Constitution. In the meantime, the judge rightfully put private litigants ‘on notice’ that the law has serious constitutional defects and any litigation based on the law will likely not be successful."

Hopefully they will be a bit more thoughtful in crafting the update.
