EDIT:
The bill you are calling about is actually S.1671, or "A bill to define "obscenity" for purposes of the Communications Act of 1934, and for other purposes." I got the number wrong because this is like the 3rd time this senator has tried this and S.5260 was the 2022 version

The "Interstate Obscenity Definition Act" release cites children, of course, but funnily enough the bill itself also bans it for adults. How odd!

Sen. Mike Lee’s "Interstate Obscenity Definition Act" is a direct attack on free speech. By redefining obscenity with vague, subjective standards, it opens the door for massive censorship. This bill isn’t about any type.of morality—it’s about silencing voices and crushing our First Amendment rights.
Opinion | Sen. Mike Lee’s obscenity bill is a free speech nightmare
The Utah Republican introduced the Senate version of the “Interstate Obscenity Definition Act” (IODA) — a recycled attempt to ban online pornography nationwide.

When you email your senators, specify this is S.1671 "obscenity definition act." So far the bill doesn't have any cosponsors, which is good. Still call your senators and make sure this bill is killed and this Utah fucker knows how strong the opposition to this is.
Mark our words:
Even if you don't like porn.
They WILL use this to criminalize LGBTQ+ people.
You NEED to call your senators and congresspeople. REGULARLY.

WoLF was founded in 2014 with the explicit goal of oppressing trans people. they’re behind shitty legislation to define trans people out of legal existence & they’re funded by project 2025 fascists.

![In 2016, WoLF received a $15,000 donation from the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a conservative Christian organization that opposes abortion and LGBT rights. [16]
In May 2017, WoLF partnered with the Hands Across the Aisle Coalition, Concerned Parents and Educators, and the Family Policy Alliance to submit a petition for rule-making to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, "to protect the safety and privacy of women in need of shelter due to homelessness or violence".
In 2019, three members of WoLF appeared on a panel with conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.
The panel focused on the Equality Act, legislation pending in Congress that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Progressives criticized WoLF's participation in the panel, which included Jennifer Chavez reading "from a letter that described increased transgender visibility and acceptance as 'a social contagion all over the internet'".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreicnqwdyxm7jaa6kylrv6ftkhwixepvjqqrsy7ade76kqohcfhlozq@jpeg)
