Charlie Chaplin was charged for transporting a woman into new york for morally questionable work.. It was the great purity and morality times when prostitution was bringing in more money than shipbuilding and manufacturing combined.
"Chaplin was charged with violating the 1910 Mann Act, also called the White Slave Traffic Act. This federal law prohibited people from transporting women across state lines for "immoral purposes." Originally intended to be a law against prostitution, at times its enforcement was expanded to include any activity considered immoral. Chaplin was acquitted of the charges brought against him in the first two indictments to go to trial and later, the other charges were dropped"
Seriously, "obscenity" is not and SHOULD not be a third party morals interpretation because history shows exactly where it leads.
