Spokesman Tammy Kikuchi said Monday that Gov. Huntsman "doesn't have a concern about the constitutional challenge."

Typical politician.
Only cares about looking good at the moment.

I don't get it. If the government creates a registry of bad sites, why can't the consumer get the list from the government and block those sites directly? Why involve the ISP at all?

Any content provider that the Utah attorney general claims hosts material that's harmful to minors must rate it or face third-degree felony charges.

You could pretty much kill the internet with this. Pretty much anything could be "deemed harmful" (including political blogs) if it was ruled that way.

The controversial legislation will create an official list of Web sites with publicly available material deemed "harmful to minors."

They already have those on the Internet; though they usually do nothing more than spawn a blizzard of pop-up ads!

I just hope that they don't call the official list something like www.jonshotpornolinks.com.

I suppose there will be some state bureaucracy to determine what sites are porn and what aren't. What a job that would be.

What if your content isn't offensive, but you put it on the list anyway for spite sake?

The dumbest law ever. Didn't they notice that it was struck down in PA. Not to mention that it's impossible to implement. 50000 new porn sites a day throughout the world. Another 50K are removed. And probably like a million or so have alternating DNS schedules. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
