What do you think is the best solution for stopping revenge porn while still comporting with the First Amendment of the US Constitution? Under current Supreme Court precedent, there isn't really a solid argument for why statutes criminalizing revenge porn can pass Constitutional muster. Specifically, the court in US v. Stevens in 2010 refused to apply a balancing test to statutes criminalizing speech, saying:
"The First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech does not extend only to categories of speech that survive an ad hoc balancing of relative social costs and benefits. The First Amendment itself reflects a judgment by the American people that the benefits of its restrictions on the Government outweigh the costs. Our Constitution forecloses any attempt to revise that judgment simply on the basis that some speech is not worth it. The Constitution is not a document prescribing limits, and declaring that those limits may be passed at pleasure.”
What do you think the best solution is to both be able to curb this type of behavior without unconstitutional overreach?
Thanks for doing this AMA!
