First of all So what. Second what does this have to do with network operations? This discussion went from ISP's blocking porn to gay marriage.
Actually, gay marriage wasn't mentioned.... Living together isn't marriage, and most common law marriage statutes have long ago gone by the boards.The topic is ISP enforcement of local/regional/state/national "morality".
And I thought it a nice heads-up on the difficulty of technical enforcement measures, with an example of a "blue" state where 40% of the citizens ignore the law.... Despite some self-appointed moral arbiters trying to send them to jail. The Lynn Rivers Show (WEMU locally) had a nice segment today onvictimless crimes, with the heads of the Libertarian Party and NORML.
Under the Utah law, we'd have to block access to lp.org and norml.org.
