    This is bullshit. It should be on mississippi to block the sites or require local isps to block them. The providers are on the internet and not going out to be in mississippi. Places should wall themselves off if they can’t handle the internet.

      Or - hear me out here - it shouldn’t be on anybody to do anything because the law itself is garbage and should not exist.

        It should fall on the parents and ISPs should have an opt in option to block adult websites.

        But we all know this is more about control and data harvesting than anything else.

        But the question is, what would be a reasonable legal principle for preventing such laws generally? Mississippi is going to pass bullshit laws, but it shouldn’t be possible for the jurisdiction of any state to be anything on the entire internet.

          Or what about fireworks. They’re not legal in all states, but you can travel to another state and buy them with an ID from a state where they are illegal. Airguns are considered real firearms in NJ and require a permit, but you can drive to PA and buy them, they don’t need to make sure that they’re legal in your state.

      You’re right. Imagine having to put more resources into Mississippi than Mississippi puts into anything.

      How would other countries have responded if instead of building The Great Firewall, China had demanded each international company not allow Chinese citizens within China to access certain parts of their websites?

        Yeah what you have at the end is sorta my thought line. You want to go all censorship at least get off your ass and do it yourself.
