I really do not like the idea that the government could move to censor the internet by blocking access to content.

This place, man. All I can say is that as an almost life-long MA resident before this, my new state never ceases to blow my freaking mind when it comes to politics, especially how conservative most of the Democrats are. I'm not sure I will ever get used to it.

I had not heard about this--thanks for posting.

I agree with you, I don't like it.

I should alert my exH as I know he watches a lot of porn!

Say what? That's stupid. I don't want the ISPs or the legislators deciding what is "offensive."

Also, how would that impact cellular data?

Not going to pass.

It probably won't make it out of committee. The stupid legislative is too busy working on a stadium deal for the paw sox and dealing with speed cameras in school zones.

I bet Utah will be on this in about 30 seconds if they aren't already. They consume a hell of a lot of porn all while Mormons (which have to be the majority of those looking at it) call it "a sin akin to murder" and a public health crisis.

This is virtually impossible to enforce, technically speaking.

They are useless.
