Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill

Posted by timothy on from the now-there's-a-winner dept.

All Names Have Been writes "House bill 260 has been signed into law by Utah's governor. It creates a list of websites that are not 'safe for children' and forces ISPs to block these sites for those who request it. In addition, content providers who host or create content in Utah for profit must now rate their websites or face 3rd degree felony charges. A similar law in Pennsylvania was struck down last year." (See this earlier story, too.)

    At first, I thought this was horrible.

    But now, I can't wait for that list to leak.

    How many here would like to work for the UT AG's office as the official porn site screener? Can you imagine, getting decent pay, good benefits and spending your days surfing porn? I wonder if telecomuting is an option (I need saltwater proximity).

    Finally! It was about time someone addresses the need for a porn directory with no credit card involved in this country!

    You guys give guns to your children for xmas, but you can't buy dildos. Whoa!

    So how about a gun where the barrel is shaped like a dildo- that would be protected under the second Amendment. Man, THAT would confuse the hell out of a lot of Texans...
