> Is the law protecting victims or banning depictions? Both. When there's plausible deniability, it slows down all investigations. > If you try to do the latter, you'll run head first into the decades long debate that is the obscenity test in the US. The former, meanwhile, is made as a way to make sure people aren't hurt. It's not too dissimilar to freedom of speech vs slander. There's a world outside the US, a world of various nations which don't care about US legal rulings, and which are various degrees of willing-to-happy to ban US services. |

Cool, I'm all for everyone else banning X. But sadly it's a US company subject to US laws.
I'm just explaining why anyone in the US who would take legal action may have trouble without making the above distinction
Definitely a core weakness of the Constitution. One that assumed a lot of good faith in its people.
