Utah Law Requires ISPs to Block Harmful Internet Content

Will turn ISPs into 'Internet traffic cops' warns group

Monday, Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr., signed into law House Bill 260, which -- among other things -- "allows the Attorney General to seek a civil fine against a service provider that fails to properly block material harmful to minors."

The Center for Democracy & Technology -- in objecting to the legislation -- said that it would turn ISPs into "Internet traffic cops," and warned that it would likely be overturned in a court challenge, as was a similar Pennsylvania law last year.
