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 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.

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

      No, I think it’s time we started taking shit seriously. Clearly laughing and brushing it off, being in denial, hasn’t been a good strategy for us collectively

    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?

    That’s definitely going to work. And not a huge fucking waste of time or money.

    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.

      Germany seems to be trying to remove the rights of the afd, but in general absolutely.

    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.
