Enough Is Enough is an American anti-pornography non-profit organization. It carries out lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C., and played a role in the passage of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, the Child Online Protection Act of 1998, and the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000. The group is based in the Commonwealth of Virginia. They sometimes refer to themselves acronymically as EIE.

They use children's welfare as a thin veil to promote censorship, abstinence, purity culture and anti-privacy legislation. They publicly support Trump, anti-immigration policies and increased digital surveillance. They petition against liberal and sex-positive media, even sex education.

Edit: Margaret Mead has some interesting writing and studies on how children raised in sex-positive environments are less likely to develop anxiety and paraphelias as adults.
