For almost two decades, federal law has prohibited the production and distribution of child pornography. Before the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 (CPPA), this applied only to visual views of real children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. It also has a similar concern of any visual views that is "advertised, promoted, presented, described, in such a way that shows the impression that the material contains a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct." . The question presented is whether those prohibitions are violating the First Amendment to the Constitution.

A child who is shown to engage in sexual activity with an adult can sometimes be convinced by viewings of other children 'having fun' participating in sexual activity." Congress determined that computer-generated images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct can be just as effective in seducing children into sexual children, child, pornography, sexual, real, activity, congress, sexually, images, conduct, explicit, engaged, computer-generated, production, engaging, distribution, court, visual, virtual, technology, prohibitions, first, depictions, actual, act, whether, viewer, photographic, issue, involving, interest, ferber, exploitation, cases, become, amendment, abuse, witness, virtually, views, unprotected, unit, under, therefore, takes, study, significant, shows, seducing, revealed
