What I meant is more specific than the position that is being questioned here...to quote myself:
"(2) legal insufficiency
In this country we criminalize actions not thoughts, and thank God for that.
As a formal argument the notion that information about illegal activity X must be censored to prevent people from being tempted to participate is a radically foreign notion. This kind of logic is not applied in any other criminal realm, *including* other kinds of crimes against children. "
In other words we don't make descriptions or depictions of crimes illegal in any other case. To make this more pointed in the form of a rhetorical question...
Should we also make the depiction of murdering teenagers and other minors illegal?
