It sounds like this is limited to passive surfing. No permission is granted for publishing or purposely storing or redistributing it (so Facebook, a private company that can ban pictures of green dogs if it wishes, wouldn’t be embroiled in this), and probably not for subscribing to a service that specializes in it. And if it’s not actually made from children engaging in the acts depicted, it escapes sanctions anyhow, by a USSC decision of years ago from the Sandra Day O’Connor era — the point seemed to be that the only valid legal reason for such a ban was to prevent children from getting molested or exploited which would be inherent in making genuine child porn.

"The purposeful viewing of child pornography on the internet is now legal in New York,"

That doesn't sound like "passive" viewing to me.
