A new bill in South Carolina would require all computers, tablets and smartphones sold in the state to come with a porn filter installed and demand device owners to pay a $20 fee to remove the content blocker.

The bill comes from Republican state Representatives Bill Chumley* and Mike Burns who would like to require manufacturers or sellers to ensure all devices have a digital content filter installed or face a fine.

Both device makers and sellers who don’t want to bother with installing a filter would be able to waive the requirement for a $20 fee for each device. Likewise, the purchasers of these devices equipped with a filter could pay $20 to have the content block lifted—but only after proving they are at least 18 years old.

Pay the $20 or if you live in the majority of the state that is a 30 mile or less drive from the next state over, buy it there.

Btw I'm against this law as it's a freedom of speech issue. I'm merely pointing out what the worst case scenario really is.

How would this even be enforced, seems unconstitutional.

Hey--as long as Starbucks is forced to write "Merry Christmas" on their cups, I don't care if the government decides which Internet sites I can visit.

That's the real free speech issue.

Sounds like it
1. Violates the First Amendment.
2. Violates the interstate commerce clause.
3. Is just begging hackers on all the world to install massive porn portals on every single computer in South Carolina.

The solution is for the federal government to require, by law, that all computers, tablets, and smartphones sold in South Carolina to require a filter that blocks Christian content and requires that device owners pay a $20 fee to remove that content blocker. Turn around is fair play.

Porn is just like drugs, if they want either let them have it.

Dan's lucky he doesn't live in SC.

He'd be broke....

Only a dumb old shit like CIC would think that anyone pays for porn nowadays. Hey CIC, your wife gives it away for free.

Why not just pass a law requiring all females to suck off every guy they see?

Heard a joke today.
If abortion is murder,a blowjob is cannablism!

Not surprising. Prostitution and churches are the top two businesses at risk in SC.

Abolish the "you must bake the queer cake" amendment, and we will permit you to enjoy a "Merry Whatever" cup of java...
Even trade.

I didn't know cakes had sexual preferences.

sorry about your friends but 'silver spooned slime' abound on both sides of aisle and there is no shortage of chicken hawks in the democratic party of today. Like Obama and Clinton. I don't see their kids signing up for the military, nor the kids of many of their supporters.

The cost of using public business resources like land zoned commercial is serving the entire community, not just what political and social subsets you want to serve. The reason businesses cannot simply refuse service to gays is the exact same reason they cannot refuse service to blacks, women, or any other minority. If a business sets up shop, it prevents other businesses from setting up shop. This means that businesses that refuse to service some people prevent those people from conducting the business at all with anyone.

Think about it this way. There are a lot of Jewish bankers. Imagine if all the banks simply refused to let Christians open accounts because doing so went against the banker's religious beliefs. After all, Christians betrayed and persecuted the chosen people and their false religion distracts from Yahweh's real message of redemption and coming savior. Now imagine if all the Christians were at a severe financial disadvantage because they couldn't get bank accounts. As a result, they can't trade stocks, open IRAs, or make any of the investments controlled by the Jewish-dominated financial industry. I suspect that Christians wouldn't be OK with this "religious freedom".

Calls to let bigots run businesses that discriminate against other groups are hypocritical. Plain and simple.

Use the PatNet quote feature or people have no idea who you are quoting.

19   joeyjojojunior   2016 Dec 20, 7:59am  

It was the post directly above mine. I would think you could sort that one out.

Unfortunately I can't use the quote feature.

Not when the person you are quoting is being "ignored" by me. Unfortunately, PatNet doesn't display the posts of such users. What I really want is just a "ban from my threads" feature, not an ignore feature.

Send a message to @Patrick. If there is a bug, he'll want to know.

How are you trying to use the quote feature? You should select the text you want to quote and then click the Quote link. It requires JavaScript, but it works on all major browsers.

If it doesn't work for you, check if there is an error message in the JavaScript console.

Ah--good point.

He knows about the bug. It's the browser.

Wow, that says a lot about our differing values. I think free thought and speech are more important than property rights, and the really offense part of this bill is forcing someone else's false and despicable religion onto me. But hey, how does that compare to $20 of property?

Jailbreak/Root/Uninstall

For PCs and laptops this is easy. For Windows tablets is is also easy. For iPhone, Android tablets and smartphones, not so much. Without intercepting and disabling the automatic installation paths at the OS level, you really can't stop spyware and malware from being installed on this platform. Have you ever gotten Facebook and FitBit to permanently stay off your phone even after rooting it? If so, please post the exact steps you took. The exact steps.

You see, South Carolinians apparently have no self control and need guvment to make them do the things they think God wants them to do like abstain from pornography. If it is available the devil will make them watch it. It would not be their fault. God meanwhile is too busy inspiring rap artists and helping mediocre quarterbacks make touch downs to enforce the sillier of his laws. He needs guvemnt to do that.

One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
