Yes, I read NY v Ferber back in law school.

Well then

Your comment lamenting the loss of the first amendment makes no sense.

“Yes, I read NY v Ferber back in law school.”

You went to law school and still don’t know that porn is NOT speech protected under the first amendment?

Did you read Miller v. California?

Obscenity. such as the depiction of penetration in porn, (let alone the far more obscene content of sites like pornhub such as the explicit depiction of rape and torture) is still technically illegal under federal law.

From the Justice Department’s website:

“federal law prohibits both the production of obscene matter with intent to sell or distribute, and engaging in a business of selling or transferring obscene matter using or affecting means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including the use of interactive computer services. (See 18 U.S.C. § 1465; 18 U.S.C. § 1466). For example, it is illegal to sell and distribute obscene material on the Internet. Convicted offenders face fines and up to 5 years in prison.”

The problem is that these laws have been unenforced ever since Bill Clinton became president.
