Fight the New Drug (FTND) is a nonprofit, secular, and non-legislative anti-pornography organization that is based in Utah.[2][3][4] The group was founded in Utah in 2009.[5][6] FTND describes pornography as analogous to a drug and argues that it is a public health crisis.[7][8][9] It describes itself as asking people to "consider before consuming", rather than advocating anti-pornography legislation.[10]
