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.

    This exists purely to put the opponents of the bill on the side defending porn.

        And draining the swamp, deporting illegals, etc. Where in a new world where the Bill of Rights and constitutionally mandated agencies aren’t protected from the Executive’s and oligarch’s wrecking ball / grift.

    REMINDER THAT ONLY ONE PARTY REMOVES RIGHTS.

    And that’s the party the majority of voting Americans voted for.

    Hope you all enjoy this sinking ship.

      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 bill is part of Project 2025 and the aim is to make it illegal to be a trans person.

        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.

        Oh, you better believe they’ll have ‘religious (Christian) exemptions’ to laws, carved out under the guise of using ‘freedom of religion’ as a defense from gov’t control. Just like they already do for molesting choir and altar boys.

    Why not just require ISPs to block it? That’s what many countries do without having to go through the trouble of criminalizing and prosecuting the consumers.

    I don’t agree with the spirit or purpose of the law nor with banning or criminalizing. But one is less harmful than the other.

      Because the point is to be able to enforce it arbitrarily. To be able to Target specific people and groups. Being harmful is the point.

      Lol. We’re talking about the Republican party. Their fetish is to hurt Americans. And American’s fetish is to be hurt by them.
