Is Nude Content on Your Website at Risk? The Truth About the Interstate Obscenity Bill

If you’ve seen scary headlines claiming adult websites are about to be shut down, relax. The internet isn’t ending, and your topless photos aren’t illegal.

Here’s what’s really going on.

First: This Isn’t New News

A bill called the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act is making the rounds in Congress again. It’s not law, but it’s catching attention (and causing confusion) in the adult industry.

Introduced by Senator Mike Lee (Utah) and Representative Mary Miller (Illinois), this bill proposes to:

• Create a national definition of what counts as “obscene”
• Let the federal government prosecute content shared across state lines
• Target porn sites, even ones hosted outside the U.S.

📌 Important: This bill has just been introduced.
It’s the same bill as last year, just recycled. And no, nothing has passed.

💡 What It Means for Creators Like You

If you’re a:

• Nude model
• OnlyFans or LoyalFans creator
• Feature dancer with your own site
• Artist who shares topless photos
• Performer with links to adult content or spicy merch

…this bill could eventually change how you’re allowed to share your stuff online.

But for now?

✅ You’re good.
✅ You’re not breaking any laws.
✅ This is just your heads-up to tighten up how you show up online—so you don’t get caught off guard later.

🔐 How to Stay Safe & Keep Creating

Here’s how you can keep your content flowing and stay protected:

✅ 1. Ditch LinkTree and Get Your Own Website

Platforms like LinkTree, AllMyLinks, and others are convenient—but risky for adult creators.

• You don’t own the platform
• They can ban or shadowban adult content anytime
• If that site gets flagged or subpoenaed, your whole setup can disappear

Your own site is better:

• You control it
• You can host links however you want
• You can build a professional hub that works for you long-term

✅ 2. Keep the Public Stuff Clean-ish

You don’t have to hide your sexy content—but keep the homepage friendly to avoid problems.

Try:

• Blurred thumbnails or censored previews
• Locking explicit content behind a login, age gate, or members-only area
• Using soft, suggestive language like “exclusive content” or “VIP gallery” instead of anything explicit

This helps protect your site AND makes it easier to defend if laws ever tighten up.

✅ 3. Don’t Use Mainstream Payment Tools

PayPal, Stripe, Square, Venmo… all super risky for adult performers. They shut down accounts without warning and don’t allow adult content sales.

Instead, use adult-industry trusted payment processors built for what we do:

CCBill is one of the best in the game:

✅ 4. Understand What Counts as Obscene (Legally)

Right now, courts use something called the Miller Test to decide what’s “obscene”:

1. Does it appeal to sexual interest in an offensive way?
2. Does it show sexual conduct that’s clearly over-the-top?
3. Does it have any value—like art, education, or social expression?

If your content has artistic or expressive value (and let’s be real—it does), it’s usually not legally considered obscene.

🛑 Do You Need to Change Anything Right Now?

Nope.

This bill is just starting to move through Congress, and nothing has changed yet.

But if you:

• Own your site
• Keep explicit stuff behind a wall
• Use compliant payment tools

… you’re already ahead of the game. And we’re here if you ever need help.
