There is a lot to say about _Knox_; it had a very bizarre procedural history. I cut it down as much as I could and the summary still came out to be the longest one in my list.

To me the interesting part of the case is the procedural history; further detail about what was actually in Knox's loathsome videos is much less interesting.

The interesting part to me is the mental gymnastics and tests around what constitutes "lewd or lascivious" without nudity, and naturally that veers well into: "I know it when I see it". To paraphrase: "The editorial direction in this video is terrible and punishable as crimes." But also what a gross rabbit hole to go down. I am so sad that I clicked the link and wondered what this case might be about.
