Don’t consider porn a free speech issue. The courts are just wrong about that. I consider “speech” to be a free speech issue.

The courts are the law. You said before you wanted to follow federal law and require sites to host anything that was not illegal. According to the law as it now stands that would have to include legal porn.

A possible alternative to the requirement to host anything is the public interest standard used by the FCC. That disallows particular profanity and porn for public broadcast: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/obscene-indecent-and-profane-broadcasts presumably since any kid could pick up a broadcast (never mind that they get it all from the internet nowadays)
