Video Content Classification Guide

Summary

In New York, a videos title alone doesnt classify it as pornography.

A video called: "Why are gay people the most fuckable people at a grocery store?" is not pornography, right?
In New York, for content to be considered pornography, it must meet certain legal criteria, often related to obscenity. A title alone, like the one you mentioned, doesn't necessarily classify a video as pornography. The content of the video itself would need to be evaluated based on community standards and legal definitions. Would you like to know more about what constitutes pornography under New York law?
Yeah
In New York, for content to be considered obscene (and therefore potentially classified as pornography), it typically must:
- Appeal to prurient interests according to community standards.
- Depict or describe sexual conduct in a patently offensive way.
- Lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

What is an example of something that appeals to prurient interests according to community standards?
In New York, whether something appeals to prurient interests is determined by community standards and can vary. Generally, content that is intended to incite or arouse sexual desires, particularly if it is explicit or graphic, may be considered prurient. Examples might include explicit sexual scenes or provocative imagery. However, community standards differ, so context is crucial.
