    Does that freedom of speech without protection of kids include child pornography?

    I have zero idea why you think child pornography is linked to “freedom of speech,” as child pornography is not a form of speech. Could you please elaborate?

            Then why are you saying that the properties of art apply to things that are not art? Art is speech because it is used to communicate ideas. But you’re telling me that child pornography is not art.

            What exactly is child pornography trying to communicate? How is it speech?

        Lol who the fuck is whispering that shit in your ear? CP is %100 illegal basically globally…no amount of art or free speech protects it, it’s illegal. Period.

          Of course it is, and for good reason, who here ever stated otherwise?
          Art is a form of speech, and is under the rules of free speech. CP is also a form of speech, but is universally illegal for good reason.
          Ergo being a free speech absolutist doesn’t make sense unless you don’t have any morals.

        Are you referring to the legality of drawn CP? It’s important to clarify drawings or reality (CSAM), because the big Question is whether or not pedophiles can use drawings to avoid abusing real children. It’s an uncomfortable thought, and we couldn’t answer for every person, but society is going to have to have open discussions on how to solve this issue. Until then, the laws are going to be varied, across the country and the world.
