12 U.S. courts follow a three-prong test to define obscene material, which is not protected by the First Amendment. see Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973). The first prong is whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest. Id. at 30–31.
