@snow Thats funny because the word is explicitly used in the very wikipedia articles you are quoting:

" The judge ruled that two parts of the act that were broader than the Miller standard, 1466A a(2) and b(2), unconstitutionally overbroad"

@snow

Yes, that doesnt in any way contradict what i said.

1) the Dean case was not at the supreme court level so has sets no legal presedence outside of Iowa, for starters

2) The handly case had in fact made significant progress in arguing the unconstitutional nature of the law and the judge on that case agreed with such a ruling. The only reason it "failed to prove" is because handley took a plea bargain in order to avoid other charges and thus while the court did decide the law was unconstitutional it failed to actually set legal precedence in doing so.

@snow

Yes, really. That is not a supreme court case you linked.

Temporarily only since the spam has stopped for now and I've been too busy to handle new signups quickly, so i want to make sure people get access. But it wont last once I'm back home.

@khird

@snow Yea I noticed :( Luckily other courts since then have deemed it unconstitutional and it hasn't been tried at the supreme court yet to know if it will be upheld.

@snow Is seems the act has been challenged in court and are often found unconstitutional. but it has yet to be heard by the supreme court, so we really don't know if the law will be upheld should it continue to be applied. Here is a wikipedia quote referencing that:

"Response to "18 U.S.C. § 1466A" has been met with legal challenges regarding its vague wording. In particular the law testing the criminalization of a "visual depiction of any kind" has since been tried in courts. In October 2008, a 38-year-old Iowa comic collector named Christopher Handley was prosecuted for possession of explicit lolicon manga. The judge ruled that two parts of the act that were broader than the Miller standard, 1466A a(2) and b(2), unconstitutionally overbroad"

@snow Well not the USA, but otherwise correct.

@snow Yes I sawin about 33 out of 195 (16%) countries that appears to be true

@snow Seems like 33 countries out of 195 make it illegal then.

@snow ahh didnt notice that, thank you.

@snow That link doesnt really address drawing in most cases. but in the two cases where they specifically mention drawings on that page it clearly states that drawings are not considered child porn in those countries:

"This excludes drawings, cartoons, and other non-realistic simulated child pornography"

@boob

Everything is and always will be acceptable under irony.

@georgia

@georgia Actually I wasnt aware this was a british-only convention until just this moment. I have heard americans use it before who were not british in origin as far as I know.

If you say "arse" instead of "ass" we can not be friends, just saying.

@subi its funny because its true :)

@snow Thankfully I dont think I've ever seen a single instance of actual child porn on the fedi. Though I have seen some questionable drawings, but since those are legal in most countries I often see that on twitter and even facebook as well. So I'm not sure its a problem all that distinct to the fedi.

@selea Not sure never tried.. but if I were faced with needing to I'd try linux first if there is an option for it...

Although to be fair if i find i need to install Windows PE at all I'd feel there is a big battle to be won somewhere :)

I will never not share this.

@selea No, there is only one thing you can install on a windows box and that is linux :)
