Hm. I understand that not all nudity is pornography but maybe lets also not have minors be naked on film to be shared worldwide.

Plaintiffs have not put forth any authority showing the film here can be deemed to be sufficiently sexually suggestive

the scene is literally them in bed together post-coitus lmfao like??????

Yeah, this happens a lot. Reading MacKinnon has changed my perspective on a lot of stuff lately.

I think when it comes to nudity, context matters. Nudity can be shown without being sexually explicit. This however, I think is sexually explicit, if it shows them in a sex scene or in a sexual matter. This ruling is bs.
