‘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.

According to the bill text, “a picture, image, graphic image file, film, videotape, or other visual depiction” of any media that “appeals to the prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion” would be considered criminal. In other words, if you have an old VHS tape of some Cinemax-style smut stashed away in your garage, you could, under this law, be considered to be harboring deeply illicit materials. Some critics have suggested that Lee’s definition of obscenity is so ridiculously broad that it could effectively criminalize Game of Thrones. That said, the punishments for merely possessing porn under the proposed law seem unclear at this point, as the legislation seems more focused on punishing the creators and distributors of racy material.

The law would “pave the way for the prosecution of obscene content disseminated across state lines or from foreign countries and open the door to federal restrictions or bans regarding online porn,” The Daily Caller writes.’

Mike Lee wants to deliver a death knell to PornHub.

The fascist right continues its authoritarian attack on the First Amendment and freedom of speech and expression – for conservatives it’s about more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty, seeking to compel conformity and punish dissent.

Fascists are leftists, lefty...or are you right-handed facediaper??

Maybe I'm all wet here, but I don't think the Founding Fathers were concerned about the supposed right of the people to look at smut when they codified the 1st Amendment.

BTW, a lot of filth is already illegal, items like Child Porn, for example. That's why libs in Washington were forced to use codes like "Cheese Pizza" at their local pizza joint to get their share of this filth.

So....
Exactly how are they going to define "obscene"?

What constitutes an obscene picture? Are medical texts now obscene material? How about undergarment advertising? Bikini ads? Sunscreen?

How much of a woman's leg or torso can be shown without it being "obscene"? How about a man's chest or leg?

How about their backsides?
Thongs have become very popular. The beach is going to have a ton of public indecency violators (especially in NJ)
What defines erotica?

Is the swimsuit competition for Ms USA erotica now and therefore porn?

With the prevalence of cameras in everyday life from doorbell cameras to cell phones....what happens if a camera I own inadvertently publishes what the government declares is pornography to the internet? Am I liable even if I am unaware it's happened? My trail cam, used for deer, caught two raccoons breeding....is that obscene? (I think it is, but likely it won't violate the laws....but I wish the government would arrest those raccoons....I'm not wanting them here in the first place and I'd bet anything they didn't use contraceptives)

People see images of the Virgin Mary on toast or in rust stains. What happens when it's something the government declares is obscene? Is the government going to confiscate my toaster for what happened to my English muffins?
