"It's the law" isn't a valid argument in the face of technological change.
When laws are changed with careful consideration, for both individual rights and social good – well, that's the very essence of the social contract.
- chrisjj 3y ago> "It's the law" isn't a valid argument in the face of technological change. It is a valid argument where I used it - against your purported bewilderment.
- 23B1 3y agoBut your argument was wrong. People do not have the 'right' to do as they please with the image of another person. Plenty of constraints to speech exist, some are silly, some very reasonable.
- chrisjj 3y ago> People do not have the 'right' to do as they please with the image of another person. That's not the right under discussion. The right is, in your own words: "the right to make photorealistic sexual material of their unconsenting obsession". Your exaggeration of the scope does your argument no favour.
