That's the part shitheads like Dev like to ignore. Yes, the religious right did their moral panic bullshit and it was mostly what helped the right lose the culture war in the 90s because they became the self-appointed fun police and synonymous with opposition to entertainment of any kind - but it was the left, led by shitheads like Hillary, that tried to legislate the fuck out of this new medium from behind closed doors. When she proposed FEPA, it was an attempt to create a federal version of state legislation that had already been passed, found unconstitutional, and knocked down in several states - including California, but you've seen how establishment pricks are about consent of the governed.
When the Moral Majority went down in flames (good riddance), they were the ones who got blamed, but they couldn't have done it without the support of the establishment left.
The price of freedom, as we say, is eternal vigilance.
