That's right. Community standard of tolerance.... and that standard changes sometimes drastically from state to state, country to country.
Generally though, in Canada & the US, the ommunity standard of tolerance has changed quite significantly over the past 2 decades. Back in the mid-to-late 80's the cops were raiding Adult's Only Video locations here in Winnipeg for renting out nothing more than what we now know today as mainstream porn.
The internet itself has gone a long way to push the limits of what is and isn't acceptable. We have more freedom of expression online than ever before, but we could also lose a lot of that freedom in a heartbeat if certain members of the moral majority have their way.
