GOP Sen. Mike Lee proposes bill that could ban access to Internet porn in the US

[diamenz]

Republican Sen. Mike Lee introduced a measure that some in the adult film industry believe could redefine obscenity and could upend the Internet porn industry.

Lee, of Utah, introduced the one-page bill, titled the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act, on December 14. The bill would "establish a national definition of obscenity that would apply to obscene content" that's transmitted online.

"Obscenity is not protected speech under the First Amendment and is prohibited from interstate or foreign transmission under U.S. law. But obscenity is difficult to define (let alone prosecute) under the current Supreme Court test for obscenity," the proposed act said.

While it's currently legal to produce porn in the US, the Supreme Court has a set of standards to determine if materials are obscene, which is not legally protected. According to the three-pronged test, materials are considered obscene if they appeal to "prurient interests," depict "sexual conduct in a patently offensive way," and lack "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

Lee's bill would take the same test but scrap the second prong about depicting sex in a "patently offensive way." Instead, his bill says materials would be obscene if they depict "actual or simulated sexual acts with the objective intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify the sexual desires of a person."

Members of the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association that protects the rights of those in the adult film industry criticized Lee's bill in a Thursday tweet, saying it "would remove porn's First Amendment protections, and effectively prohibit distribution of adult material in the US."

Maybe now Family Values Republican voters will realize the GOP is voting against their personal interests.

[Long Duck Dong]

Good luck with that. Although his state watches less porn than any other state so I doubt it will hurt him with his constituents

[SouBeachTalents]

There's legitimately no way you could enforce this. There must be literally billions of pornographic images and videos online, there's no way you could ever regulate that.

Mike Lee is a nice guy, and I get what some of these Republicans are trying to do, however, this is ultimately futile. The country seems to be getting further and further away from God and religion and closer to drugs, harmful acts, and debauchery. But I think we're past the point of no return with getting back to a puritan lifestyle that probably defined America for most of the 20th century prior to the 60's and 70's. The only thing we can hope for is to at least be split down the middle or to maintain the slight majority we have now. I have said this for years now, but Conservatives are the new Liberals. They are what the Liberals were before the Radical Leftists took over Liberalism and turned it into the ultra-authoritarian system it is today. As a Conservative, I believe in traditional family values, but I also am very much Libertarian in my beliefs. I think prostitution should be legalized. I'm surprised more Liberals who are always spouting off about "my body, my choice" aren't fighting for this as well. Nope, they're just hyper-focused on abortion right now, when it's a bigger affront to individual liberty to have the government prevent you from having sex for profit.

Getting back to the topic at hand, I think Mike Lee is coming at this simply from the lifestyle that is prevalent in Utah which is Mormonism. And to me, Mormonism is very restrictive. Addictions to porn are unhealthy, but to eliminate it all together or to make it much harder to have access to it goes against common sense Libertarian beliefs.

Republicans will lose their incel base with this.

Either poopsie is holding his load , and it will hurt like hell when he dumps in a porn prostitute , or he still hasn't com e out of a closet.

It's a shame the usual low-IQ dummies of the board like Jasper, Axe, and Lakers are incapable of having civil discussions. And then, they create their own threads and expect them not to get railroaded?? SMH.

Grow up, boys. In Jasper's case, he never grew up considering he's 82 years old.

[Jud]

im not worried

it's never going to happen

IHS MAGA Challenge:

Josh Hawley, Missouri Republican Senator, said today all MAGAS could own the libs by quitting porn and starting a family.

Poopsie's already failed.

But Poopsie said he is really a nice guy.
Funny how he calls other posters 'low iq dummies' if they do not get along with him at all.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Notice how Poopsie claims he can only have a civil discussion when it comes to porn.

I do. Just that you don't agree with it. :oldlol:

If this were to happen, Chewbecca would be the first one to kill himself. He has zero self-control and requires that internet porn for himself.

He also (lies) and says any girlfriends he has had are all been liberals.

[Nanners]

This will never happen... a certain tribe of people who happen to control the govt and virtually every meaningful institution would never allow their precious porn to be banned

Insults? Not Poopsie. Especially when Mr. Anti-Choice is calling for all trans people's babies to be aborted.
