‘Hands Off My Porn’: Adult Film Industry Launches Campaign Against Trump Over Rumored Industry Crackdown

The adult film industry has launched a campaign against Donald Trump and his conservative allies over fears that Republicans are cracking down against the widespread availability of pornography.

According to the Hands Off My Porn campaign group, Republicans around the country are planning to criminalize pornography by following the “Project 2025” plan put forward by The Heritage Foundation, despite Trump’s public disavowal of the plan.

The site goes on to make a series of dubious claims about how conservatives believe pornography is affecting wider society:

Hands Off My Porn takes direct aim at Republican vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, citing their views about pornography:

JD Vance has stated his right-wing positions and desire to ban porn clearly from his earliest days in office, “I think the combination of porn, abortion have basically created a lonely, isolated generation that isn’t getting married, they’re not having families, and they’re actually not even totally sure how to interact with each other,” Vance said in a newly unearthed interview with Crisis Magazine from August 2021.

The website is also asking its supporters for donations and providing them with information on how they can register to vote.

While there is a growing consensus among conservatives that pornography is harmful for society, there is no evidence that Republican legislators are currently seeking to criminalize its creation or consumption.

Over recent years, some states have implemented stricter regulations on pornography, particularly to address concerns about minors’ access.

Utah and Arkansas are among those to have enacted laws requiring websites hosting adult content to verify the age of users. Louisiana similarly  introduced a law mandating age verification using government-issued ID for users accessing explicit content.
