New Bill Could Spark Historic Anti-Porn Crackdown

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel unpacks a troubling new bill—The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act—that threatens to redefine what counts as “obscene” in America. Framed as protecting public decency, the bill could lead to sweeping censorship of porn, LGBTQ+ content, art, and personal expression. The hosts expose the vague language, moral posturing, and religious overtones driving the legislation, and explore how it could impact everything from adult entertainment to free speech. It's not about protecting children—it's about control.News SourceInteresting Engineering, “New obscenity bill could trigger anti-porn prosecution”By Aamir Khollam, May 12, 2025https://interestingengineering.com/culture/new-obscenity-bill-could-trigger-anti-porn-prosecutionThe Non-Prophets 24.13.24 with Helen, Rob, Tracy, E.J. The Porn Panic Is Back: A 1950s Morality Reboot 📼 Is This Bill the End of Free Expression? 🛑 Obscenity Laws Could Censor Everything—Including You 😬 The Government Wants to Define What’s “Too Sexy” 🧐 Porn, Art, and Freedom: What’s Really at Risk? 🎨 Obscenity Redefined: The Dangerous New Anti-Sex Bill 🚫 Adults Only?
