Last year, the rightwing think-tank the Heritage Foundation launched Project 2025, which laid out much of the policy blueprint for the current Trump administration. One of the project's espoused goals was to permanently criminalize all p***ography. Now, a Republican senator with kind words for Trump has introduced a bill that would do just that.

Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which would effectively criminalize all p***ography nationwide by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. For years, "obscenity" has been all but a defunct legal category that narrowly defines speech that remains unprotected by the First Amendment. Lee would explode this legal category, expanding it to encompass virtually all visual representations of sex.

According to the bill text, "a picture, image, graphic image file, film, videotape, or other visual depiction" of any media that "appeals to the prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion" would be considered criminal. In other words, if you have an old VHS tape of some Cinemax-style smut stashed away in your garage, you could, under this law, be considered to be harboring deeply illicit materials. Some critics have suggested that Lee's definition of obscenity is so ridiculously broad that it could effectively criminalize Game of Thrones. That said, the punishments for merely possessing p*** under the proposed law seem unclear at this point, as the legislation seems more focused on punishing the creators and distributors of racy material.
