You missed a very important line in the article:"Internet providers in Utah must offer their customers a way to disable access to sites on the list or face felony charges."
In other words you must provide a mechanism for a customer to "opt-in" to a filter. Doesn't sound illegal to force an ISP to provide a feature.

Then point them at the overturning of that law.
