Utah lawmaker - runs on no porn internet ticket

"Republican Sen. Todd Weiler said his resolution declaring pornography 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 pornography.

The work to rid the predominantly Mormon state of what some consider harmful material echoes an argument made by many conservative religious groups across the country as porn becomes more accessible on smartphones and tablets"

It will be interesting to see how much support and/or votes he gets.

With kiddie porn or some other deviant porn. I hate my state government and wish I was in CO every single day.

Given the heavy Mormon influence there that has to be causing them fits.

Wouldn't be the least surprised to see this tool caught with deviant porn though.
