State Lawmakers Want To Limit Internet Porn Access (By Fining Everyone With WiFi)

SALT LAKE CITY State lawmakers are considering a proposal that would force Utahns to limit access to their wireless networks with a password.

It’s all in an effort to keep teens with laptops from driving around in search of a wireless Internet connection to look at pornography.

The proposal comes from an Internet law professor at BYU. Cheryl Preston has developed several proposals designed to keep kids from seeing porn on the Web. Today, legislators began considering Preston’s proposals.

Under her proposal, anyone who unintentionally failed to block access to their network would be fined. While, intentionally leaving a network open to minors would be considered the same as publishing pornography.

Preston’s proposals will be studied throughout the summer.
