In the latest authoritarian porn block idiocy, a new bill in Tennessee is aiming to have internet providers block all porn on every device.
Rep. James Micah Van Huss (R-Jonesborough), the headline-chasing moron who recently introduced state legislation to official consider both CNN and The Washington Post as “fake news” outlets filed the “Safer Internet for Minors Act,” or HB 2294, this week.
It would make those of age and wishing to view porn take extra steps to do so — and in the process categorize adult content s something inherently dangerous, while forcing porn viewers to out themselves before being able to exercise their rights to view whatever the hell they like.
Right now, Van Huss’ office says internet providers allow porn on devices by default. Parents, for example, manually have to go in and “opt out” of allowing porn.
Correct, because parents have parental responsibilities that should not be passed off to the government.
This bill aims to have internet providers block porn by default and have those wishing to viewing porn, who are of legal age, manually “opt in.”
According to its sponsors, “the bill is designed to make it so porn isn’t as readily available to minors. It can also crack down on the issue of teens accidentally becoming addicted to porn – that’s been happening in record numbers.”
No, there is no peer reviewed study that confirms there is any such thing as porn addiction, and it’s pretty obvious that legislation like this is simply designed to push a type of religious-based morality that is not only outdated, it pre-dates the Iron Age.

Thats all but impossible to do in this day and age.
Rep. Van Huss is even more of a “dimwit” than Char Cross. This “representative” should be placed in stocks then tarred and feathered by his “constituents”. After tarring and feathering, leave him all tarred and feathered in the stocks for 24 hours so the general Tennessee populace can throw tomatoes at him and smear him with something stomach revolting in its grossness.
