Utah Considers Forcing ISPs to Filter Content

Posted by Zonk on from the regulating-reality dept.

tipsymonkey writes "Cnet is running an article on how the Utah governor is considering signing a law that forces ISPs to filter content deemed harmful to minors. This would apply to large scale ISPs like AOL as well. They have until March 22 to decide whether or not to sign this into law."

    I wonder if they'll try to block pages that oppose polygamy.

    Darn near the same when it comes to sensible values.

    It NOT Ok to view PORM, but its PERFECTLY Ok to marry 7 16 Year old girls at the same time and become a population bomb

    Consider the source of such bills then consider how to hang the people who submit them by their short hairs.

      Too bad you don't even know what you are talking about. Mormons (like myself) don't practice plural marrage and you will be excommunicated (kicked out) from the church if you ever do so. Please quit sinking into the past and remember that the United States was founded largely on religous freedoms and freedoms from pursacution. Take a look at our history and look at the injustices people like you have put on our religion. Where states actually passed laws saying killing Mormons was legal.

      This is an OPTIONAL filtering program. Like the v-chip. Heaven forbid you might actually care about your children and what they get into at a young age.

    There's law and then there's what actually goes on. Polygamy still goes on in Utah.

    I don't know about statistics to back this up, but I do know that the male members of the Mormon Church receive a chastising lecture on the 'evils' of pornography twice a year.

    You could probably make a drinking game out of it, it happens that often (that is if you drink, which being Mormon and attending those kinda meetings you most likely do not).
