"A federal appeals panel has upheld the 20 year sentence of a lolicon found to have received illustrations of underage sex by email, saying that “it is not a required that the minor depicted actually exists”, and so ruling art not to be universally protected free speech."
- MartinCron 13y agoI was wondering if someone would bring that up. The prohibition of virtual child pornography is probably the closest thing to thought crime that we have. I think that using a particularly narrow example of restricted permissible expression isn't proof that society is getting closer to the totalitarian nightmare of 1984.
- mhurron 13y agoArt, in part, put a guy in jail for 20 years, that is double the average of the crime of actual rape. I think that's going in a direction that we shouldn't go.
- MartinCron 13y agoI agree that it's a direction we shouldn't go, but I don't see it as a new thing or a thing that's getting progressively worse.
