ThoughtCrime

Regardless of the particular arrangement of the pixels on the screen, all that a person reading "objectionable content" is actually doing is.. *Reading*.. Thinking and watching..

At the time of viewing, No one is being hurt, no one is engaging in non-consensual activities, and no crimes are being committed.

By all means, make the production of "objectionable content" illegal.. put the producers in jail if you think they deserve it, but making *looking* at something on a computer screen illegal ?

No thanks, keep your grubby fingers out of my head.. what goes on in there is *my* business and not yours.. Unless I act upon my thoughts and *do* something illegal, you have no right to say what I can and cant look at, read or think.

Everything else is irrelevant detail.. Thoughts are not crimes.
