Mike Lee wants to deliver a death knell to PornHub.

Last year, the rightwing think-tank the Heritage Foundation launched Project 2025, which laid out much of the policy blueprint for the current Trump administration. One of the project’s espoused goals was to permanently criminalize all pornography. Now, a Republican senator with kind words for Trump has introduced a bill that would do just that.

Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which would effectively criminalize all pornography nationwide by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. For years, “obscenity” has been all but a defunct legal category that narrowly defines speech that remains unprotected by the First Amendment. Lee would explode this legal category, expanding it to encompass virtually all visual representations of sex.

Banning porn. Weird, but expected. Hop on retards, we are going winning in 2025.

😁
 
Porn is prostitution so at least it would establish some consistency in the law. 🤷‍♂️

Someone started a thread about the ADF, a super conservative legal advocacy group who has been slowly but surely infiltrating the highest levels of government. They aren't going to stop here.

 
So apparently the bill does define porn, the undefinable, as anything that appeals to prurient interests. I looked up prurient, and it’s defined as “having a or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters.” Now all they have to do is define “excessive.”
 
Oh I think that will eventually go much farther than just porn.

Absolutely. Soon after they will have to define pornography. Good luck with that.

The Christian Nationalists are to go jump on it at first opportunity. It really isn't about naked people, it's about control of the masses. The Christian Nationalists are all about creating a theocracy to rival even the Taliban.

Shame and fear and control.
 
Also this won’t just ban what is universally considered porn.

These bigoted subhumans will ban anything they deem too exciting and pornographic.

They want a monopoly on the definition, so they can label anything they don’t like as pornographic. And as usual moron Americans and our dog shit press and the Dems will fold to it like the groveling little shits they are and will always be.

These are sad insecure freakshow men who want to impose their deranged religious beliefs upon everyone else. Wah porn makes me feel weird it should be illegal I think kids today are degenerates because porn wah. Freakshow Mormon wants to tell others how to live.

This country needs a general strike to shut this shit down. The constant carrying on as usual is a joke at this point.

They keep aiming to make this illegal, make that illegal, ban this, ban that. Everything they don’t like. They’re fascists and religious extremists.

But the party of freedom.
 
A lot of porn content probably comes close to being obscene, and there are already federal laws against the distribution of obscene materials, but under the existing Miller standard, it really has to be some awful stuff to check the boxes. Even if the law fails to pass, though, I could at some point see some evangelical energy pushing for threatened lawsuits, prosecution, and what not to basically intimidating the likes of PornHub into voluntarily closing down.
 
After reading the article, all I can see is that we need to protect children. Yes we do, I fully agree. Child porn is illegal, as it should be. I was happy to see that this wasn't driven by religious beliefs. What adults do to enjoy the sight of other naked people, which is completely natural, I have no problem with. What Lee is proposing is akin to getting rid of the liquor cabinet at home so that the kids can't raid it.
 
It's clear as day that Mike Lee and his forehead the size of a football field came home, heard his wife having some fun of her own to some Blacked videos on pornhub, and she made noises he never knew she or any other woman could make that didn't involve screaming the word no at him. So he felt some type of way after that and wants to ban porn.

They don't want to protect kids, they use them as a weapon to get gullible people on board with their bullshit controlling fascist politics.

I'm sure the same people that don't care when schools get shot up and are stripping back child labor laws totally care about the safety of children.
 
Isn't this bill rather self defeating for the magas? Imagine how many magas will be moving to other countries if they aren't allowed to access porn in the US? Definitely going to deplete maga voting number!! There might not even be a maga pastor left to teach their 'flock' of maga children on Sundays.

7 Mountains Mandate.

They want to impose Christianity into every aspect of life.

I expect that many in Congress would be found guilty of violating the law so this could be a good thing :)

can we stop this thinking that they care about being hypocrites or that they will apply the laws to themselves?
Also, lets not even move the bar to accepting this even in jest.
