Oklahomans for Children and Families (OCAF) is a nonprofit organization that lobbies against media that the group finds offensive.
OCAF is best known for its lobbying of Congress for passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, demanding that internet service providers stop offering Usenet newsgroups which contain sexual content.
[1] OCAF is also the subject of the documentary Banned In Oklahoma (2004) about the organizations efforts, ultimately unsuccessful, to remove the movie The Tin Drum from Oklahoma libraries and movie rental businesses, 18 years after the film's release.
[2] The group was founded in 1984 as Oklahomans Against Pornography in an effort to force Oklahoma-based cable television companies to remove Playboy TV from their line-ups.
[3] In 1996, the group accused an Oklahoma City comic book store of "trafficking in obscene materials" because it was selling copies of publisher Verotik's Verotika anthology issue #4:[4] In March of 1996, Michael Kennedy and John Hunter closed their embattled comic book store ... after months of trials and tribulations resulting from a police raid in September of 1995.
