Tenn. law bans posting images that "cause emotional distress"
- saulrh 15y agoI seriously wonder how they planned to enforce this, how long it will take the supreme court to throw it out, and whether this is really just a stalking horse for the EFF.
- foenix 15y agoI wonder how many hospitals Tennessee could have built with the oncoming legal fees.
- mchusma 15y agoDoes anyone else want to send the most offensive things they can find to the TN legislature and governor? I have a lot of ideas...
- shareme 15y agoan image of the phrase God does not exist..
- jpitz 15y agoAs someone who strongly values my First Amendment rights, an image of this statue would certainly cause me emotional distress.
- gburt 15y agoDid they seriously just try to ban trolling? Is this a jab at 4chan?
- nvictor 15y agothe intention was prolly a good one. i hate people tagging me in pictures on facebook. i'm pretty sure facebook keeps the tags in its database even if you untag them.
- bane 15y agoYes, this will stand up in court (extreme sarcasm).
- orbitingpluto 15y agoDon't be so insensitive. Your rights end where my feelings begin.
- sorbus 15y agoI expect that an argument could be made that this applies to videos as well - they're just moving images, after all. So Tennessee has (accidentally?) banned the distribution of horror movies via the internet.
- DisposaBoy 15y agoPeople have phobias for just about anything so I'm guessing, it's not just horror movies but in my case nearly any kids' movie that contains a certain kind of amphibian. It's even worst for others who are afraid of birds... damn things are everywhere!
- turbojerry 15y agoIt will be interesting to see what happens if someone posts a picture of a clown and someone with Coulrophobia sees it and makes a complaint.
