Finally, someone who recognizes what this bill is all about. It merely asks ISPs to provide parents with a filtering tool that cannot be overridden by their children because the process of filtering takes place entirely outside the home.
I assume one can opt out of this statutory filtering voluntarily. What's to stop their children (think teens not infants) from doing that as easily as they might disable a local filter? Ok, require ISPs to figure out how to secure against that, password management or whatever. Oh good, another arms race as kids pass around how to by-pass the filters at school...I know, use unlimited national cell rates to dial an out of state ISP. Or find a remote proxy to use. etc. It's not very hard, and if one kid figures it out the others just have to follow the formula. I have a better idea, why doesn't the Utah legislature just outlaw cancer. Wouldn't that do a lot more people a lot more good? Are those lawmakers in favor of people, CHILDREN!, suffering and dying of cancer?
