Summary

Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.

The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.

With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.

Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.

        As hard as you try you can never stop people from posting porn on the internet. It would be as big of a disaster as the war on drugs.

          A law that virtually everyone breaks and is easily selectively enforced is extremely valuable to authoritarian regimes. It’s a wildcard to imprison whoever they want.
