TIME - Free-Speech Rulings: Violent Video Games vs. Sexual Images.
Is it because sexual images are more harmful to young people than violent images? Supporters of the California law submitted research showing that violent video games may well be making young people more aggressive and that they can cause "long-term harmful outcomes." Is the evidence of harm from exposure to sexual imagery stronger? (Child-pornography laws are another matter entirely; the harm they aim at is much clearer.)

Even if the court's ruling in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association does not make it abandon its approach to sexual speech and images, it might cause the court to rethink it.
