the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites.
vs Government passing a bill charging people before watching porn "ISPs would have to hand the money they collect over to the state so it can "help fund the operations......."
Isn't it different that government forces everyone vs an ISP charging it's own customers?
I never worry too much about unworkable solutions. I worry more about politicians that suggest something like this not understanding it's not workable.
On the subject, why the heck would any pol object to standard old-fashioned porn? I can see some concerns at the fringes of the subject, but isn't this as American as Apple Pie, Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler?
Crazy talk. I'll have to look up the RI thing because it doesn't make sense....maybe just a few rogue pols?
There is a little something to the fact that my 2nd grade grandkids can accidentally run across a lot of the stuff - so I guess I'd be down with some way to make certain it isn't available to those under....say....12 years old. But I'm not sure how you could do it. The last thing we'd want is for any "big data" to know our sexual preferences....or anything about us.

If they can levy "sin" taxes on alcohol and tobacco, they can put a tax on pornography.
I would go a step further and require people to apply for a license that must be renewed annually for $250.
