What I believe is that speech and information are inherent to each other and that photos and videos, being information, are also an extention of speech. To regulate information is to regulate speech. In the case of CP, it may be an expression of speech of those committing the crime and is also a record of that crime, but it is still protected, so owning and viewing it would not be illegal. Basically, what I believe is that any form of information made by man can not be regulated under the law. That is my interpretation of freedom of speech. In other words, anyone can put any information out into the world without regulation.

I understand that it is your view. It's just not the view of the original Constitution (to my knowledge) or our current interpretation thereof, so even if we "really abided by" the Constitution, I still don't think it would be legal.

Somewhat unrelated, but what do you think about copyright? NDAs? Threats? Libel, slander and defamation? Direct danger to people? Calling for real violence? False advertising? Employment by government?

Honestly I never even thought of any of those things. I suppose the political and legal landscape of the U.S. would be entirely different if this were the case, and there is no way of knowing what would and wouldn't exist.
