Lee Bill Establishes Obscenity Definition Across States
www.lee.senate.gov
external-link
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act today to clarify the legal definition of “obscenity” for all states, making the transmission of obscene content across state lines more easily prosecuted. U.S. Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) is the bill’s co-lead in the House of Representatives.

    I say pornhub releases all DC IP addresses if it goes through.

      They should release their search history and announce which of them have been banned as well, whether it goes through or not.

    The definition of obscenity necessitates a lack of “serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”

    This bill won’t ban porn, it’ll just make it all require a plot.

      If porn becomes a political issue (because one political group is far more likely to support it’s prohibition than others), then technically, couldn’t it be argued that creating and sharing it has political value as a protest of the effort to ban it, and therefore that it has political value inherently?

        This is a very fair point - my concern with the original definition is the word “serious”

        The end goal of project 2025 is to establish a Christian nationalist fascist government, strictly enforcing gender roles is just part of that

    Isn’t porn a staple of the religious conservative? I’m sure they will vote for this in the belief that it doesn’t apply to them.

      No, you’re thinking of gay porn. That won’t be illegal if you are just doing it for research.

    I guarantee this douchebag has a very weird search history on pornhub. Like amputee clown porn. Or latex and animals. It’s something odd. I mean if that’s your thing and it’s legal go for it. But something that would cause a lot of pearl clutching if it was made public.

    Probably this doesn’t even come up for vote.

    In the event it does, well, they just went to war with the biggest streaming platform independent of Google. Do they have any idea how much muscle PornHub has if they were so inclined?
