Porn is free speech

A federal court recently struck down a law that keeps children from looking at or being in porn.

It's a lengthy, legal document, and I'm not a lawyer. But it looks like a strong free speech argument, that Congress, once again, overstepped the Constitution in trying to restrict pornography online.

And yet. Sexual imagery is harmful for young children. Child pornography is evil. And predators are constantly developing new technology to evade law enforcement. How can we make sure the rights of innocent people are protected, while also protecting "the children"? I wish I had the answer.

I am against porn altogether. I wish I had the answer too.
