I certainly see the difference between someone illegally having child porn, and shouting out racial slurs. My point was to illustrate free speech. Like most people I to do not agree with child pornography, or racism however there are people who do. The moment you protect the free speech of the racists, you then have to protect the free speech of the child porn. Pornography just isn't classified as video either. We are talking about something as simple as a picture of a naked child. Do people not have the right to look at pictures on their own computers? Obviously not because it's against the law, but why is shouting out racial slurs on their computer ok? He has no right slandering, and harassing people the same way some pervert has no right looking at naked children.

Child pornography have nothing to do with freedom of speech thought, when you talk about something that's it, you're talking, when you look at child porn it means a child was forced to do porn, there is a HUGe difference.

A forum isn't a public location. They are privately owned and would be compared to using racial slurs in your own home. There is no parallel between the two.
