Summary
A federal judge in San Francisco has allowed the city to implement a ban on public nudity, rejecting arguments that it violates free speech rights. The ban, set to take effect on Feb. 1, prohibits residents and visitors over the age of 5 from exposing their genitals in public spaces, despite opposition from nudity advocates.
