Republican Rep Jim Banks on Friday wrote a letter to the Department of Justice asking Attorney General William Barr to enforce obscenity laws which are already on the books against pornographers.

"The prevalence of obscene pornography in our society has consequences, especially for our children," Rep Banks said. "It's time we start talking about it & it's time to do something about it."

"Our children are being exposed, often accidentally, & are struggling with addiction," he said.

The prevalence of obscene pornography in our society has consequences, especially for our children.

It’s time we start talking about it & it’s time to do something about it.

As online obscenity consumption has increased, so too has:

-violence towards women
-overall volume of sex trafficking
-child porn production

Our children are being exposed, often accidentally, & are struggling with addiction.

This is beyond outrageous. It is evil.

In 2016, @realDonaldTrump made one of his most important promises: elect me, & I'll enforce federal obscenity laws to stop the explosion of obscene pornography online.

Mr. President, now is the chance to keep yet another promise. https://t.co/8ds3YvBGud

Pornography has been used as a weapon by the Israeli military in the past and studies have shown pornography consumption can have all sorts of terrible effects.
