If it's legal for women to be topless in public, why would pictures of topless females be in this law?

Our government really is dumb. Plus, it's only going to expose the kids to sketchier and possibly illegal stuff. If big porn players step up and do verifications, there would surely be dozens of sketchy sites popping up left and right to fill the void of providing porn.

FWIW, I think the original Ontario law stated topless women can't behave in a sexual manner. I don't know if that has changed or been enforced.

That law seems rather... open to interpretation.

To be fair, the bill doesn't really say it's only for images of a sexual manner.
