    RTFA - "pornography featuring children, violence, bestiality, and incest"

    Not necessarily the most legal porn. Sorry if I'm a sexually-repressed prude for not thinking kiddie porn and bestiality is OK.

    You think child porn is protected by freedom of expression?

    Tell me, whose freedom are you thinking should be protected? The adult or the child? Is it OK if the adult's freedoms infringe on those of the child?
