Utah Governor Signs “Stop Porn” Resolution
I just got word of an important development in internet pornography legistlation and noticed that it isn’t available online anywhere. It’s so important, I just have to spread the word.
Utah governor Jon Huntsman signed a resolution last Friday that aims to build a technological solution to filter pornography. If another nine or more states follow suit, Congress will be obligated to address the issue.
Ralph Yarro, chairman of the CP80 Foundation (CP80.org), a non-profit group helping businesses combat internet pornography through tech consulting, said, “We are excited about this first step. It shows that people are ready to take action.”
The resolution specifically addresses technological solutions that allow parents, schools, and businesses the ability to fully restrict pornography access through the internet without filtering or proxy servers. Pornography vendors still would have the same access to internet technology, but legislation would make serving up porn via port 80 (the main port through which all web sites flow) illegal.
