Lily Moric steps in to host the show this week, and she's joined by Expert attorney and founder of the NCOSE Law Center, Benjamin Bull. They discuss legal strategies to combat the harms of pornography. In particular, Ben explores obscenity laws and what it would look like to enforce them in 2026. Under obscenity laws, much of Internet pornography would likely not be protected under the First Amendment and could be prosecuted. Enforcement of these laws has faded, but Benjamin Bull remains hopeful that it could be a winning strategy.

Join us in advocating for these and other solutions to loosen pornography's vice grip on society!

-Ask the DOJ to enforce obscenity laws: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2736

-Call for age verification legislation, which would require pornography companies to keep children off their sites: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2684

-Ask your Representatives to pass the App Store Accountability Act, which would mitigate child exposure to pornography through apps: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2426&aev_link=1
