Republican Oklahoma State Senator Dusty Devers plans to submit a new bill titled ` `Oklahoma Senate Bill 1976'' on February 5, 2024. Commenting on the previously published text of Oklahoma Senate Bill 1976, Reason said, ``It targets not just 'hardcore pornography' but a very broad definition of 'pornography' that threatens all types of sexual expression. It's part of the conservative plan.'

In the United States, the First Amendment to the Constitution allows for 'freedom of expression,' including political speech and pornography. Of course, there are exceptions to the types of pornography that are protected here, but most legal, consensual pornography is protected.

But Devers' bill significantly expands the definition of illegal pornography to include not only sexual acts but also partial nudity and any videos, images or performances depicting sexual fetishes. Illegal depictions include oral sex, anal sex, masturbation, normal or kinky sex, as well as depictions of genitals, buttocks, female breasts, and restraint in the context of sexual activity for the purpose of sexual arousal. It is said that shackling, shackling, and undefined ``sado-masochistic abuse'' are also illegal.



Reason says, ``It's bad enough that what people call 'hardcore pornography' is banned, but the bill doesn't just target 'hardcore pornography.' It is broad enough to include pornographic photos and videos, in some cases erotic illustrations, or depictions of strip clubs, theater, drugs, and domination.' All illegal pornography is prohibited from being produced or distributed unless it has a 'profound literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purpose or value,' and violations can result in damages being ordered. There is a gender.

In addition, even purchasing, procuring, possessing, or viewing illegal pornographic content is subject to criminal punishment, with imprisonment for up to 20 years or a fine of up to $25,000 (approximately 3.7 million yen). is.

The bill would legitimize charges and lawsuits against pornography production companies and adult content distribution websites. It's not just platforms known for adult content like Pornhub, Xvidoes, and OnlyFans that can be targeted. SNS such as X and Instagram, and video and distribution platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, may also be subject to lawsuits if they fail to prevent sexual content from being exposed to the people of Oklahoma. .

Not only that, but actors and actresses in adult content, performers in sexual shows such as strippers and burlesque dancers, and ordinary people who send sexual images to someone other than their spouse are also at risk of being sued. . Reason pointed out that ``Oklahoma's anti-pornography bill is so extreme that it could criminalize even

sexting outside of marriage.''



In recent years, the Republican Party has fallen into a kind of 'pornography panic,' and has introduced bills in various states that would ban the viewing of pornography by minors and resolutions that would make pornography a ' public health crisis .' However, Mr. Devers' bill is by far the most extreme, and Reason claims, ``This is a gross affront to free speech.''

The Republican Party's regulation of pornography has gone beyond the state level, and now Republican members of the United States Congress are also condemning pornography. Therefore, regardless of what happens with the bill introduced in Oklahoma this time, Reason said it will not be the end of Republican attempts to target 'sexual expression of all kinds.'
