@RoyalJohnny242 Yes, porn as a industry is awful

That doesn't mean you get to cope by picking and choosing what's Free Speech or not

@applejack @RoyalJohnny242 This I disagree with though. Obscenity laws were a thing for ages even during the free-ist period speech has ever been.

@Insomnolant @RoyalJohnny242 And the US had and has blasphemy laws too, despite literally saying "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

They're just not very consistent

By the exact same logic you can blasphemy is not Free Speech, and at that point you're very clearly not talking about the same concept as anyone else

@Insomnolant @RoyalJohnny242 I'm not entirely clear why everyone is taking this from an exclusively American legal context anyway

A "freedom to speak" is a general concept

Not like you'll change your view to X, Y, Z not being Free Speech if/when they become illegal in the US anyway, since that's clearly retarded
