(1) How is that not a bright-line violation of the 1st Amendment? It doesn't
meet any of the exceptions-- obscenity, etc.-- it's literally content-based
government censorship of speech which the Supreme Court has said is a no-no
for 200+ years.

(2) How could they possibly enforce it? Living in California, I'm not subject
to New York's law, so if I put up a website with these digital files, they
can't do shit to me, but anyone from New York can access them if they want
to.
