Utah lawmaker wants inappropriate content filtered from Internet

[Desk trauma]

Protecting children from exposure to inappropriate and mentally damaging material is both citizens and governments responsibility.

The software to block this material is readily available to parents or anyone else who would rather not see it, along with the option of just not going to the sites, why should the state be involved? Why should the state have the right to tell me what software I must have on my devices?

Protecting the welfare of children is very much the states responsibility. Otherwise we may as well do away with social services, custody orders, indexent exposure laws, etc

Do you have data that shows children exposed to inappropriate content are mentally damaged?

Yall are all funny.
If debating and providing support to back what Im saying would actually serve any point perhaps i would be inclined to "take the bait".

But an endless back and forth for no purpose is not what I had in mind for this afternoon. enjoy the battle with someone else.

I was exposed to inappropriate contentography at a young age, yet it did not harm me psychologically.

We are talking about the difference between inappropriate content and art. It isn't that hard a call.

So should what about hentai and just drawings people put on the internet they drew of sex? And isn't film a form of art?

What about movies like "The Passion of the Christ"?

Ahhh yes the snuff inappropriate content film that wouldn't have been available to children if it was a extreme saw moivie, but because it's jesus it's fine.

So a depiction of an Orgy with a horse is Art or inappropriate content?

Neither - technically it falls under a division of Veterinary Science known as "Animal Husbandry".
