Re: Blah blah...
said by Skippy25  :The freedom of speech granted to us was never intended to be a "say or show whatever you want, whenever you want to" right. Go review some history. Literally.. no.. this does not meet the definition of free speech.
but...
taken in the context of the original poster i quoted.. it is. He seemed to take the stance against it, and would probably like to see it banned. This makes my post relevant... just because someone doesn't like it.. doesn't mean it can be censored.
THAT is the essence of free speech. Replace internet porn with 'political opinion'. Same stuff.

1 edit | What I meant, specifically, is that commercial porn is *minimally* protected speech. It isn't a total ban, just a time, place, and manner restriction. If you can have laws outlawing strip clubs and adult bookstores within 1000 feet of a school, it stands to reason you can segregate commercial porn to the .xxx domain. The Supremes have agreed with most such restrictions in the past, and I doubt they'd change their stance here.
Charging more, while still constitutional, isn't that nice. It isn't content related discrimination because I could buy hotsex.xxx and put up a webpage devoted to women's history. In fact, I bet that's what happens to a few..reverse domainjacking. Fun to see.
Funny, I didn't see me advocating a ban on porn in my original post. I guess you know better... |
