Utah lawmaker wants inappropriate content filtered from Internet

[Desk trauma]

A Utah lawmaker who succeeded in having inappropriate contentography declared a public health crisis intends to continue his crusade through a bill that could require inappropriate content filters to be placed on the Internet.

Republican Sen. Todd Weiler said his resolution declaring inappropriate contentography a public health crisis, which sailed through the 2016 session, was only the first step. He plans to introduce at least three new proposals next session including one that could require Internet service providers add filters so everyone in Utah has to opt-in to view inappropriate contentography.

There goes 90% of the Internet.

And the other 10% is spam... half of which is for inappropriate content!

As if the two forms are even remotely the same.

Isn't Utah the most inappropriate content-addicted state in the union?

Anyway, to be clear, this guy is seeking to make the ability to watch inappropriate content opt-in rather than opt-out. So the bill payer will have to contact their ISP (I assume it would be done online, passworded etc) to switch inappropriate content on.

Our increasingly authoritarian government attempted to introduce this here in Britain, but thankfully the EU blocked it. (Any Brits reading, vote Remain for inappropriate content!)

People in Utah can't be trusted to block inappropriate content on their own if they don't want to see it?

yea, I'd get banned for posting inappropriate contentography if I posted some pictures of either one those.
So yea they are remotely the same.

inappropriate content is a 10-12 BILLION dollar industry in the US. 97 BILLION worldwide. Yeah with that much revenue. You're not going to win. Everyone knows that if something makes enough money it becomes ok in America as long as people are getting rich.

And it has truly been with us since the beginning of civilization -- if prostitution is "the oldest profession," it's no hyperbole to say inappropriate content is "the oldest art."

Of course not -- they need to have all the bad things in the world blocked for them by their masters...

I'm pretty sure the oldest profession is flint knapping.

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

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

Without the benevolent and omnipotent government is there anything you can do?;P
