Practice question
In Disini, the Court found expression-related defects in applying the aiding-or-abetting provision to specified content offenses, while allowing it for identified other cybercrimes. A commentator says a legitimate application to illegal access automatically proves every application to online expression constitutional. Which is correct?
- One valid nonspeech application automatically validates every speech burden
- All cybercrime regulation is necessarily unconstitutional
- The medium makes constitutional analysis impossible
- The valid applications do not by themselves answer the distinct expression-related sweep and chilling concerns addressed by the Court
- Aiding or abetting is never subject to constitutional limits
