But it's no problem for me to see or download certain things. I actually enjoy for example fictional bestiality (certain kinds anyway -- though realistically probably nothing anyone would bother to prosecute here even for distribution because I'm not into animal harm or videos with real animals, but that's not the point of my argument) or say certain kinds of rape porn, and it is legal here to have either as a consumer, it is just illegal to distribute. Only people providing it to others might run into trouble.

And right now that porn may be hosted on a server in a place with more liberal porn laws, so neither side has a problem (unless say the German state asks service providers here to block stuff, then I can't see things, but in principle). But as I understand this "federated" thing, if I want to look at bestiality porn, I have to distribute bestiality porn.

And this is actually an even bigger problem as soon as possibly underage fans come into the mix, because youth protection requirements here are much more rigid than in the US. You are not allowed here to distribute any adult things to youths (unless you are their parent and thus allowed). Now here generally naked people or two people having sex isn't necessarily considered "adult" as such, but violence imagery is more restricted.

So it's not that I wouldn't want to see things, or even that I wasn't allowed to consume them, just distributing them to others isn't the same legally here.
