Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers


Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

This comes after the bill's primary sponsor, Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford), said earlier this year that he was working to draft legislation banning all porn online. Additionally, an internet service provider or commercial entity could face fines for knowingly allowing people to access sexually explicit material online. Others behind the bill include Reps. Joseph Pavlov (R-Smiths Creek), Matthew Maddock (R-Milford), James DeSana (R-Carleton), and Jennifer Wortz (R-Quincy).
