Comments on: ACLU to challenge Utah porn-blocking law

Group will sue to overturn a state law that requires the attorney general to come up with an official list of naughty Web sites.

simple solution

just cut off the internet from utah, its not like they're doing anything useful with it.

infeasible in so many ways

This goes to show how out of touch our lawmakers are with technical reality. Do they have any idea how many Web sites are on the Internet? And how many arrive and disappear in a single day, each day, every day? Their so-called list will be hopelessly out of date before they barely get started. As for the question of it being more legally feasible to regulate the ISPs rather than the sites themselves, that is just a load of horse hockey. Whether you censor the author or the publisher, it is still clearly the repression of free speech that is being attempted.

yup

What is the criteria from making the banned list? Naked bodies? News stories that don't toe the conservative line?

This far exceeds any states or the federal governments power and responsibilities.
