This is likely to fail and will likely fail for good reasons.

However, I would not argue that the accessibility of porn is a problem.

I will mule USB's filled with porn in to Virginia.

Sneakernet will take over porn, yes.
May even inadvertently cause a resurrection of that room in the back of the video store, with the beaded curtain - also the resurrection of video stores themselves.

but remember guys, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having governments that are big and invasive and powerful and that take in trillions of dollars in tax revenue each year


Has zero to do with tax revenue and more to do with the GOP pandering to it's Religious conservative base.

Lol at a state thinking it can regulate the internet.

The U.K. is doing this though.
And didn't Canada try to do that with some Google thing?

They aren't referring to states that are countries. They are referring to states that are a part of countries.

Don't see how being a country gives you bigger reign to do it.

A country can control (to a good to an extent anyway) what information comes in and out. U.S. States can't.

Didn't someone try this already? It's got the "porn chip" bit in it and everything.

The UK already implemented something like it here.

Where? States can do a lot of things by themselves unless it's federally barred. Is there a federal law against it?

This bill - like, the exact bill, name and all - has popped up in a few states now, part of a broader push by GOP legislators:

South Carolina
https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/south-carolina-porn-blocker-installed-new-internet-connected-devices/
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/porn-blocker-tax-human-trafficking-act_us_58f9ef84e4b00fa7de135146

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/04/states-introduce-dubious-legislation-ransom-internet

More than a dozen state legislatures are considering a bill called the Human Trafficking Prevention Act, which has nothing to do with human trafficking and all to do with one mans crusade against pornography at the expense of free speech.

At its heart, the model bill would require device manufacturers to pre-install obscenity filters on devices like cell phones, tablets, and computers. Consumers would be forced to pony up $20 per device in order to surf the Internet without state censorship. The legislation is not only technologically unworkable, it violates the First Amendment and significantly burdens consumers and businesses.

Perhaps more shocking is the bills provenance. The driving force behind the legislation is a man named Mark Sevier, who has been using the alias Chris Severe to contact legislators. According to the Daily Beast, Sevier is a disbarred attorney who has sued major tech companies, blaming them for his pornography addiction, and sued states for the right to marry his laptop. Reporters Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny uncovered a lengthy legal history for Sevier, including an open arrest warrant and stalking convictions, as well as evidence that Sevier misrepresented his own experience working with anti-trafficking non-profits.

The bill has been introduced in some form Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, and Wyoming (list here).

the porn on the major sites is not involved in human trafficking. it's all legal. usually clips from big studios in california. human trafficking porn is only found on the Dark Web. which most people don't even know how to access.

Nope. The Communications Act of 1934 makes interstate telecommunication the responsibility of the FCC, but I'm not going to quote it.

The NRA takes control of gun laws but states can still make gun laws of their own accord.

The FCC is interstate. Where does it say that the state themselves can't still make their own laws like with many other things?

The entire conversation is about interstate communications. Internal state communication, and whether states can control it is irrelevant.
