the line lies where you start harming other people (and their habitat), that's literally the definition.
your freedom ends where my freedom begins
Yeah but what if I'm an idiot redneck then other people aren't allowed freedoms. Only me.

I'm saying I wonder where, formally, a company goes from being an information platform, to something else. That's the very point at which ebay started becoming liable for what people did on their systems.
They're not just hosting pictures, they're selling real-world items to circumvent laws in a visibly annoying way. People in CA get away with uncovered high intensity off-road aux lights because nobody's really abused them.
Coal-rollers like being obvious, stinky dickheads, hence the crackdown on both sales and installations.
