Government censorship?

I don't see how this would pass Constitutional challenge. It's so on the face of it unconstitutional IMHO that they have to be total idiots. The people of Utah have one of the most beautiful and cleanest states in America but their L.D.S. religion makes them brain-dead on issues such as this.

But it's Utah, so polygamy would be OK!

Bureaucratic nightmare for an ISP

I expect the ISP's will fight this in court, not as any kind of 1st amendment issue, but for the onerous burden put on the ISP to maintain up to date IP address lists for customers desiring the block. I just can't see the ISP's agreeing to this without a major fight - too much expense involved.

This means that somewhere, in some Utah government office, they are now looking to hire and pay an "internet porn validation officer".
Will this be an appointed position or an erective elective position?

Free porn blocking

And it's completely optional, i.e. you have to "opt in". Not sure what all the fuss is about.

How is it censorship if a customer requests to be on the list?

Re: Bureaucratic nightmare for an ISP

Well, they don't really have to maintain a list of IP addresses. The government supplies them a list of URL's and they can just block those URL's at the DNS level. If someone wants to access a porn site by typing in its IP address, that's technically different from the using the URL.

The fuss is that, yet again, the Gov't has taken it upon themselves to force someone OTHER than the parents to nursemaid.

If parents want to block porn from their computer, THEY need to be the ones actively doing it, not forcing their ISP to bear the cost to do this.

Re: Lets the rants begin!

Actually polygamy was thrown out by Utah in order to be granted Statehood. Which means poygamy has not been official for a long time.

Doesn't mean some freaks in some corner of the state aren't happily practicing it, though.
