I believe that you're being very generous, given that I find the mindset required to be utterly abhorent. Many of the restrictions on offline publications, just like the restrictions on video games in recent times, homosexuality in the past, etc, are basically very Victorian (I mean the era, though sometimes the state too) attempts to outlaw anything that the ruling class don't happen to agree with, understand or participate in. I remember there was some talk of banning Dungeons and Dragons when it came out too. The presence of well-funded lobby groups which wish to inflict their own beliefs upon others is indeed a problem. Ideally, we should have a bill of rights and those who wish to infringe upon our freedoms should suffer legal sanctions against them. The "personal preference" that it fits into is unbridled authoritarianism, which is something I'd like to see the end of.
(In addition, even if a law is a good idea, I don't believe it should be brought in when unenforceable or trivially circumvented. It's in another category of poor government: Pretending to be doing something when you're really not.)
