What's sad is how effective this is. Religious groups figured out a few years ago that anti-porn groups accomplish nothing, but if you start an anti-trafficking group you can restrict porn access.

Their real goals are even worse than that. Some of these groups have admitted they're also about suppressing LGBT+ content.

As the Heritage Foundation admitted:

Which religious groups specifically are pushing for this and where? I want to know so I can call them out when I see it.
