    Utah is considering a bill that will make it impossible to surf porn on cell phones in the state.

    The state lawmakers, attacking online pornography, are proposing that all cellphones and tablets sold in the state block pornography automatically.

    Critics have called this an intrusion on free speech, while those supporting it say the bill is aimed at protecting children. The issue faced a lot of opposition during the House committee hearing on Wednesday.


    According to news reports, the state’s Republican governor Spencer Cox has till 25 March to either veto or sign the bill.

    Jennifer Napier-Pearce, Mr Cox’s spokesperson, said in an email that Cox will “carefully consider this bill during the bill signing period.”

    The bill requires that all cell phone and tablet manufacturers that intend to sell in the state use content filters to block porn. If the proposal is signed, it could mean that manufacturers who don’t use filters could face up to a couple thousand dollars in fines, according to reports. The manufacturers could also face a penalty if any child is exposed to the “harmful material.”

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I wonder if manufacturers can put in content filters just for Utah phones or if it's easier and cheaper for them to just not sell phones in Utah. It's not a very populous state. I doubt they're going to try to block content in all phones nationwide

    I prefer even at 70, a naked only mud tent! Had a blast in one at Vortex and always wanted to do another. Flowers in her hair titties everywhere!
    The mid to late sixties in the Bay Area were incredible.

    That happened to me. One night I left it on all night and finally downloaded a single nude image of Amber Lynn. Glorious.

    Only problem is, it's a law that would be patently unconstitutional.

    Like when high schools added filters and students couldn't research breast cancer.

    Remember when Schindler's List was shown on TV and Republican senators threw a fit over full frontal nudity? The nudity was Jews being marched into gas chambers and Jewish slave laborers standing naked out in the winter for inspection to see if they were healthy enough to keep working. About as unsexy as you can imagine but it was called the worst thing ever shown on TV and there were attempts to sanction the network.
    Will Utah ban Schindler's List?

    It's when the flowing hair and titties become one piece of art. Close your eyes and ponder....

    Pretty sure the Mormons would classify most of what's on youtube as porn as well.
