There are humiliating someone who is trapped in a situation.
And it doesn't look stagged and she doesn't seems to enjoy what they are doing. They are humiliating her and she doesn't seems to like it. |
You don't need censorship or obscenity laws to prosecute murder.
No limits.
When People v. Freeman was being decided in California, the case that took the making of porn out of the reach of the prostitution laws, your precise argument was made by prosecutors - that pornography should not deserve constitutional protection because it was nothing more than the recordation of the crime of prostitution. The backdoor entry into censorship has always been that argument. In fact, grisly videos showing every cruelty that one person can inflict upon another (some lawfully, others clearly criminal) exist on the internet and they all teach important lessons that can't be learned as well but by seeing them. It is a better society that shows everything, hides nothing, and lets people make decisions based on reality, visual and audio, leaving as little as possible to revisionism and interpretation. The truth is nothing to fear. And it is necessary for people to make decisions. If a video captures a crime, prosecute that crime, not the video that records it.
No limits.
