This is not a porn law, it is a law requiring people to register to view information that is considered by the state to be obscene or otherwise harmful.

information that is considered by the state to be obscene or otherwise harmful

So... porn.

It encompasses more than porn. That wording can mean whatever a judge wants it to mean. This is how people wind up in prison for talking about queerness in a positive light.

Exactly. And why stop there? They could decide that political speech is "obscene" and "harmful".

It's never about the children.
