To me, the upsetting element is not 6A's rousing itself from slumber to enforce TOS--it's purging all of a user's journals without notice or recourse (and confiscating the balance of the money the alleged perpetrator was silly enough to pay 6A).
BTW, although obscenity laws are not an intensive focus of litigation (and in a country whose community standards have made hard-core pornography a multi-billion-dollar industry) there is a very long line of cases about when computers can be searched for evidence of child pornography, and more than a few people now serving 20-year prison terms for having child pornography images on their hard drives.
