GOD COPS MOVE THEIR BATTLE ONLINE …
Anyone wishing to access online pornography in South Carolina would be required to pay a $20 fee – for every electronic device they own. That’s according to legislation proposed by S.C. Rep. Bill Chumley, who believes pornography to be “a public health hazard, leading to a broad spectrum of well documented individual impacts and societal harm.”
Chumley’s bill – H. 3003 – would require consumers in the Palmetto State to verify their age and pay the $20 fee in order to remove pre-installed “obscene content” filters from their computers and personal electronic devices.
Meanwhile, manufacturers looking to produce computers and personal electronic devices without the filters would also have to pay $20 – per device.
Chumley’s law would also hold manufacturers’ liable in the event obscene content “breached” these filters – with fines of up to $500 assessed “for each piece of content that was reported but not subsequently blocked.”

Just another failed attempt to stifle Free Speech the First Amendment! who the hell this guy think he is!. It starts small, eventually the work is way up to the Bible. Then anything the government doesn't deem you should be hearing or seeing anyway.
Totally against the First Amendment! Toss that out immediately!
I'd bet $20, he's got some shady browser history.
This is another slippery slope policy, setting the stage for more thought policing.
Fake news and porn are bad, m'kay?
I remember Chumley from Tennessee Tuxedo.
Porn is satanic.
Dave T: If we want the government to tell us what to do, then we will ask ! Otherwise, stick to enforcing the laws you have and learning how to balance a budget. And lets start with some new laws regulating "Politicians" instead of the people all the time. Politicians are the last people who should be telling others how to live given the records that these so called "public servants" have to their names. True hypocrisy at its best.
They had something similar to this in the past, back in the 1920's called prohibition. It didn't work with Alcohol, and it won't work with porn. Human nature is a difficult thing to control. It will always be available either on display or underground just like the speak easy's in the twenties. It's not working with Marijuana either. You cannot legislate morality. This starts in the home and church, which isn't taken seriously anymore. If they can't stop it, they will tax it just like cigarettes and alcohol. This is just another revenue source. Before there were Camera's and recording devices, there was Art, and writing. Good luck on telling us what to do in our spare time.
