    The main rationale that comes to mind is the living can learn from it.

    As hard/unlikely as enforcement would be, I'd accept it being illegal to post outside of dedicated spaces/forums. Definitely should always be clearly labeled before clicking/viewing.

      Knowing about the dull blade beheading videos (never even seen one) has convinced me to never be taken alive

      The living can also learn from a lot of things that are rightfully illegal (and things that are wrongfully illegal, etc)
