> Pornography isn't illegal in the US

I'm sorry, but this isn't true. At the early onset of the web there were a huge number of state and local laws regulating obscene material. Many states even tried to explicitly regulate Internet pornography:

> Between 1995 and 2002, almost half of the states were considering bills to control internet pornography, and more than a quarter of states enacted such laws.[1]

Along similar lines, sex toys were prohibited or heavily regulated in a number of US states before 2000. The technological reality of e-commerce means that the vast majority of the enforcement of those laws became impossible, and sex toys are de facto legal in every jurisdiction in America.
