Justice Thomas too forecasted that “technology may evolve to the point where it becomes impossible to enforce actual child pornography laws because the Government cannot prove that certain pornographic images are of real children.” In his view, “if technological advances thwart prosecution of ‘unlawful speech,’ the Government may well have a compelling interest in barring or otherwise regulating some narrow category of ‘lawful speech’ in order to enforce effectively laws against pornography made through the abuse of real children.”

    Not a great argument: why shouldn’t they track down a real victim to confirm actual abuse took place? Seems like an argument for lazy police work & a surrender to authority.

    I don’t see this argument come up with fictitious depictions of homicide & other crimes.
