A Republican senator aligned with President Donald Trump has introduced a new bill aiming to criminalize pornography, warning against what he sees as its harmful impact on American society.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah, along with Illinois Rep. Mary Miller, unveiled draft legislation they are calling the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which seeks to stop the production and dissemination of pornographic material and and to empower prosecutors to act against it by redefining the notion of “obscenity” for the internet era.
