Rhode Island is the latest US state to discuss mandatory censorship of web content, at first targeting pornography:
Rhode Island Democratic state Senators Frank Ciccone (@senatorciccone) and Hanna Gallo (@hannagallo27) have proposed grandstanding, unworkable legislation, "Relating to Public Utilities and Carriers—Internet Digital Blocking" which would mandate the state's ISPs to identify all the pornography on the [I]nternet, and then block it for all Rhode Islanders, unless those Rhode Islanders specifically requested their porn to be unblocked and paid $20 for the privilege.
These proposals fly in the face of the observation that automated pornography filters don't work and that even the manual ones are neither practical, reliable, nor scalable.

Yeah, but this would be doing it "In The Cloud!"
You pay $20, and you don't have to install anything, and it's blocked for you.
(maybe they should charge $20 / month?)

Listen here, "Nuke." My name is Pizzarado, and I am a porn addict. I've been masturbating to porn since I was in my daddy's ballsack. When I came out of the womb, I was still jerkin the turkin, using the embryonic fluid as lube and my umbilical chord as a DIY belt for auto-erotic asphyxiation. For 40 years I've tried to kick this habit. I've tried internet blockers, host lists, "permanent" solutions that promised there was no way to undue it. I even tried to cut off my own johnson. But time and time again, I have found ways to bypass these barriers to an hour of pleasure and a lifetime of shame. I'm like a heroin addict, except I don't work other people's dicks to get a fix. I work my OWN dick and the fury of blue balls envigerates my body with super male vitality. My brain works at 120%, my typing speed goes up to 360 WPM, and my erection is at full mast until it gets what it wants. It takes control and I can't stop it. It's like a parasite, coming out to feed every day, and if it doesn't find anything, it takes over the host. I can't control it. It's too smart. Someone please help me. I've tried to cut it out, but slapped the scissors out of my hands and beat me up. Please, someone help me.

Mix citric acid into your lube. Same principle as putting that nasty tasting shit on kids thumbs, whenever you lube up, your penis will burn. Or redirect all your internet traffic to goatse.cx with *.*.*.* goatse.cx in your hosts file. Don't pay your internet bill. Start taking steroids and make yourself impotent. Go to jail. You have many options.

No good. He'll just learn to like it.
Have you tried bsdm? No? Then how do you know you don't like it.

hey, i hate to tell you this, but only a few people buy those programs.
besides the law is nothing about blocking porn, despite that is what it is about. its the intent behind the law's introduction. its about focusing on a different topic besides gun control. same with the north korea and trump dialog news.
