Suppose I own land in New Mexico on the border with Texas, and I put up a billboard visible from Texas. Suppose that billboard contains content considered obscene by Texas law, but not by New Mexico law. If the billboard were put up in Texas, the people there would have a right to sue me. Should they have the right to sue me under a Texas court and Texas law, even though I am in New Mexico and so is my billboard?

What if instead of a billboard it's a web server simply accessible from Texas. And what if instead of New Mexico, it's California. I say that states have no right to regulate websites whose servers are not physically located within the same state as you. If you couldn't send cops to my location to unplug the thing against my will, you don't have a right to do anything to me. You can force your state ISPs to block the website, but you can't sue my ass. You don't have the jurisdiction for that.

@CunnyverseAuthor there's a bullshit nigger ass law that says if something is visible from public view it's not private. If some little asshole kid looks over your fence and sees you naked in the window you can be charged as a sexual predator without knowing the fuck was even there. But if you have enough acres that no one can see you without trespassing, you can do whatever the fuck you want. So if the bilboard is visible from public view in texas, it would probably legally need to be moved far enough away from the boarder that little dick texas pussyboys can't see it and cry tears from their vaginas.
