Her logic makes sense, given how the internet works. How could it ever be legal to be held liable for pop-ups that are pushed to your web browser without your specific request? I don’t think it’s technically feasible to differentiate, and if it were there would instantly be ways around it.

A case where protecting the rights of the many allows abuse by the few.

“Purposeful viewing” means you wanted to see it, you did it on purpose.

Then that would make it accidental or inadvertent viewing of it.

Purposeful viewing IS intent. It would make more sense logically to say the accidental or inadvertent viewing of child porn is not illegal in NYS. Purposeful viewing is going to include procuring it somehow.

I want out of NY ASAP.....
