Utah Games/Porn Law Fails

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that-was-quick dept.

Just a few days after it passed the Utah House of Representatives, the 'Games as Porn' law has died in the Utah Senate. Gamepolitics reports: "The Senate, however, never moved the bill out of committee for a floor vote. Dying a quiet death, HB257 has now been thrown on Utah' s legislative scrap heap - at least for the current session. Perhaps the Utah Senate recognized the obvious constitutional concerns surrounding Hogue's bill. As noted by GamePolitics, a pair of well-known First Amendment scholars savaged HB257 in a recent guest editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune."

    As a parent, I must say I'm far more disturbed by the violence my kid's exposed to than anything involving consentual adults.


    Until they ban showing criminal activity on TV and in video games, I really could care less about the idea that naked people's pictures might be on the internet.
