  No need to guess who authored this 😖😖
  
  "SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Conservative lawmakers in Utah have fired another salvo in their longtime campaign against online porn with a new requirement that all cellphones and tablets sold in the state automatically block pornography in a plan that critics call a significant intrusion on free speech."

  I support an "opt'in" button on the phone with a parental lock to access adult material. Should have happened years ago.
  Who could oppose that?

  If we're going down this road social media/onlyfans should be next.

  I mean honestly if they tried to limit the free porn I can only see it being good for the strip clubs. Guys are just way too fucking entitled and needy for not enough money in clubs. I feel like free porn everywhere might have something to do with it but idk for sure. Probably a lot of factors involved in that. idfk

  Censoring something legal sets a very bad precedent.

  If this is a filter for porn - I’m hoping there is a filter to remove the soft stuff. I’m a pig who loves rough stuff - fisting - and some yellow discipline! If my phone filters out the other soft stuff - I’m happy!

  I would love it if Utah wanted to have a button to ban Facebook on phones!
  
  That would be true progress.
  
  Get Donny Osmond on it!

  Those Utah Mormons - they hate booze and porn - but they love their odd religious cults and multiple wives!
  
  I’ll take my porn and booze - it seems more wholesome to me!

  Hypocrisy.
  
  Utah consumes more internet porn than other states on average.
  
  Years ago it was well known that the internet was used for more porn than all other types of data/content out together. It’s only grown since then.
  
  Porn has put a lot of money into everyone in tech’s pockets. Cisco, Juniper, ATT, Verizon, Microsoft, Dell, Amazon, IBM, and all down the line.

  Next in news: Colorado, Nevada, Arizona all see inexplicable increase in sales of cell phones and tablets.

  Unlike Progressives who lie all the time Mormons say what they mean and follow their beliefs. They are no sick, despicable, hypocritical haters like progressives. Notice how the killer of asian women in Atlanta was identified by race because he was white, while the perpetrators of 97% of all anti-asian hate crimes have been black or brown and unidentified by race.

  Idk I like and dislike Mormons. I guess living in mormon land might be ok with no kids. I've heard if you have kids as a non mormon in Utah then it will be tough for you and your kids... idk for sure though 🤷🏼‍♀️

  Years ago, my bank had a joint venture with Dell. During that time, Dell wanted to target riskier credits. This was in direct conflict with our philosophy of keeping credit quality high - and defaults low. In order to offset the increased risk - we found that Utah didn’t seem to have usury issues charging over 30% interest. So we began writing our loans out of Utah - and then we moved to revolving lines of credit - that allowed for high interest rates and crazy accretive balances! Woo hoo!
  
  Those Mormons are interesting in their boundaries.

  I heard with Mormons they are weirdly conservative about most things, but like when it comes to women getting boob jobs or other plastic surgery they heavily encourage it. I guess I just don't get these people w/e. But they have their good sides. Usually nice/helpful/good neighbors

  A few years ago I remember flying out to Salt Lake. That was pretty amusing because to get there had to fly out to Denver first, then get on a super TINY plane that didn’t even offer overhead luggage because of how small it was. And then being stuck in traffic after getting picked up from the airport and yep SO many billboards to stare at advertising cosmetic procedures. Definitely an experience lol.

  The billboards there are so out of this world. The most interesting one I remember was for a homebuilder. It was of a pregnant woman holding her very pregnant belly. The text was "5 bedrooms and one to grow on". 6 Bedroom houses being normal, you go SLC.

  Back in the 70's I saw a flight attendant wearing a t-shirt that read "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may be in Utah". Back then you couldn't even get a drink at the airport. The tourist dollar has improved things a bit but there certainly isn't much separation of church and state. Fortunately there are some Jack Mormons.
