Well, I don't know about this law (I don't pay attention to news much, but I'll probably be researching it soon now that it's affected one of my more favorite dirty secret caches), I'm more or less trying to figure out if it would affect an internet thread board.
From what the post said, it's a STATE law (unless I'm reading this wrong) and does only has jurisdiction within the state that contains the law. From what I know of, state laws might subject someone who say, has the illegal material on his hard drive, but I don't think it could affect an internet site (since how can you prove a net site is in a State? It really has no location...).
So under that premise, a simple disclaimer similar to what most porn sites have (I.E. "Do not enter if you're under eighteen, or pornographic materials of x, y, z nature is illegal within your state.") Combined with the fact that I have yet (although like I said I don't listen to the news a lot) to hear a law curtailing pornographic material on the net (as I believe the Supreme Court struck it down as Freedom of Speech), it should be enough to cover Fchan's ass.
But like I said, I've only got a glimpse on the new law. So if anyone could provide a link to some Judicial Site containing the text of the law, me and some friends of mine would be most appreciative.
