:2cents 11th Circuit Court Decision May Affect 9th's Decision on Community Standards

With a split in the Circuit Courts, the Conservative-dominated Supreme Court may be motivated to consider the issue.

According to The Volokh Conspiracy, “United States v. Little concludes that Internet obscenity distribution prosecutions may rely on the community standard of the place in which the material was distributed — which means the government can try to download the material in the most restrictive community, and prosecute the distributor there. This may well be correct, given the Court’s decision in Ashcroft v. ACLU (I); and the Ninth Circuit’s contrary decision in United States v. Kilbride might well be mistaken . . . ”
