'Hands Off My Porn' Campaign Raises Ad Spend Again to $500K

LOS ANGELES—The "Hands Off My Porn" digital ad campaign on adult websites today announced it has upped its spend once again to $500,000, from $200,000, including all-new ads that will pre-roll before videos and appear on male-centric websites like Barstool Sports, GQ, Mens Health, and Bleacher Report.  In addition to previous spots that targeted young, male voters in swing states, the new ads will burrow down further, and speak to the low-propensity male voters in those states that the Trump campaign is trying to turn out. The new, safe-for-work ads can be viewed at these links: Allie Awesome, Courtney Tillia. In the ad featuring adult content creator Awesome, she makes the case to the targeted young, male voters that if they don’t show up to vote against Project 2025’s backers, pornography will be completely criminalized, and everyone involved in making and distributing it will go to prison. She also warns that it is unlikely to stop there. Other new, safe-for-work digital display ads feature actors Casey Calvert and Ryan Keely:       Commented Calvert, “This is it guys. Don’t sit back and let your rights disappear. Dig up that ballot that came in the mail, fill it out and turn it in ... or go vote in person on November 5!”  The Hands Off My Porn campaign was mentioned in a TMZ interview with pro-Trump porn star Richelle Ryan posted by the outlet on Friday in which she downplayed the specter of Project 2025, asserting, "The adult film industry isn't going to go anywhere. If anything, everybody's going to be making more money, they're going to be spending more money on our OnlyFans and everywhere else. People are going to be happy!" Project 2025 is a blueprint for a prospective second Trump presidential term that makes the criminalization of pornography a top priority, putting it on page 5 of the 900-page document. The excerpt in question states: “Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
