tags: legislation · OdditiesSlashdot points to a bizarre proposal out of Utah that suggests dividing the Internet into an
"adult content channel" and a
"family content channel." The proposed system would do this via ports: boobies and people who use the word
"shit" would be relegated to a certain port, allowing concerned parents or ISPs to filter out the Internet's naughty bits. The EFF is
on the scene warning about the dangers and technical hurdles, though the resolution is likely to crumble under the weight of its own idiocy. Note this is only a resolution, not a law -- the groups behind it (SCO's chairman playing a part) simply want to get the conversational ball rolling.
