Can we get back on topic?  We should be discussing child pornography laws
here.  If you're trying to say that a free and open society can't have laws
against the sale, distribution, and production of child pornography, then
say that, don't create strawman laws about seeing, discussing, and thinking
about potentially harmful actions.
