Speech should be free for those of legal age, with no restrictions.
If Congress had written a law that simply banned inappropriate contentography featuring minors, instead of a law that banned all images of anyone who APPEARS to be underage that deal with sexuality (even movies like "American Pie" would be barred under the just-cancelled law), then it would not have been struck down. Minors cannot consent to participation in a inappropriate contentographic production, and thus such products are not covered under the First Amendment.
As for seeing things you don't want to: Tough. That's how free speech works. You have freedom to speak, not freedom to limit what you hear. You have no right to live your life free from things you don't want to see or hear.
