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? Shame on them!
