Question: The First Amendment protects (almost) anything that was published in literature, movies, and other works of art - even descriptions and depictions of actions that would not be protected in "real life". Do you consider this protection justified, or should certain descriptions/depictions be forbidden to protect the audience? If so, name examples of depictions/descriptions that in your opinion create harm and should not be allowed.
