And the Patriot Act was only implemented to catch terrorists. What's considered "pornographic content" is entirely subjective and up to the personal feelings of a particular judge.

as a victorian from over a century ago, i find anything depicting unclothed ankles to be porn.

There's no judge in the world who could make the leap that this is pornographic.

Looks at judges who have decided any sign of support for Palestine is terrorism

Ah, but with the definition having multiple meanings then can easily make that call.

the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction

So all those things posted online like “food porn,” “travel porn,” etc can be classified as pornography because now we have a definition that isn’t necessarily sexual.

It’s bullshit, but they can still make it the definition used to make their case about why it’s “bad.” GOP is good at using broad strokes to paint their evil.
