  > I would like you to cite an example of your claim where CA "can, and does, restrict content in ways which the federal government does not" A few illustrative areas: 1. Violations of the California Right of Publicity (Civil Code § 3344). 2. Libel (Civil Code §§ 45, 45a.) 3. Violations of California obscenity law (Penal Code § 311 et seq.). All three of these are laws that have been found enforceable and outside of First Amendment protection, but which impose civil or criminal liability for content which is not (inherently, though there may be some overlap) unlawful to create/distribute under federal law. The first is pretty special to California, the other two are things which are generally viewed as “illegal in the US” in broad outline, but which mostly are a matter of state law, not federal law, with different precise statutory boundaries (and even more differences due to case law) in each state which has a similar prohibition.
