Ah, for oldies from the UK - the online equivalent of Mary Whitehouse.

We just had the nonsense about laws in Poland over Nazi stuff, this is
no different. The law draws the line, you prosecute what's on the wrong
side. If it's outside your control you bring international pressure, or
you block the entire country (economic pressure).

Just, remember this will be used against you in some ways.

And the holier-than-thous who argue, "you support kiddie porn"? Well,
set them up for a fall on when they'll start stoning adulterers, or when
they stopped beating their wife. They don't deserve respect, let them
dig their own grave.
