MAGA Senator Introduces Bill to Make All Porn a Federal Crime
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 porn under the proposed law seem unclear at this point, as the legislation seems more focused on punishing the creators and distributors of racy material.

"Insanely broad" gives their goons a pretext to come after people and take their $$$. It's nothing more than that. The state needs money to support their infrastructure and they'll be coming after the weakest of the citizenry. Namely loners.
Imagine how easy it would be to plant porn on someone's computer. And unless you're Roman Polanski, no one's going to support you afterward.
