A bill set to be introduced next month would ban consuming or producing sexual content and punish offenders with prison sentences of up to 20 years and $25,000 fines.

would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

MOST porn is art because it has a camera as a medium, and it is viewed as "Entertainment", this bill will have no teeth on arrival.

My main problem is that this kind of logic is next door neighbors with, "That woman was dressed in a pornographic way! She should be dressed from head to toe in black!"

Edit: correction

    “That woman was dressed in a pornographic way! She should be dressed from head to toe in black!”

    There's no production there. Though... if we were to accept that it counts for "production" then technically... if you the "viewer" of that person view it in a sexual way, you'd be able to be held by the law as well.
