So it begins.....Rhode Island Lawmakers Propose $20 Tax to Access Internet Porn

[Old Man Cain]

Two Rhode Island state Democrats, Sens. Frank Ciccone and Hanna Gallo, put forth a bill on Thursday which would charge internet users a one-time $20 fee to access pornographic content on the internet.

The bill also imposes strict penalties on internet service providers who do not comply with the law.

As reported by the New York Post, the $20 "fees would be collected by the state government and go to the state’s treasurer and fund the operations of the Council on Human Trafficking."

Some of those opposed to the bill - including sex workers themselves - have made their objections known via social media. “Sex work is not trafficking. I produce my content, I book my sessions, I make money from my sexwork. Nobody is forcing me into this, I enjoy this line of work,” tweeted one woman who describes herself as a sex worker.

As for internet service providers, the bill demands of them to “establish a reporting mechanism, such as a website or call center, to allow a consumer to report unblocked sexual content or potentially offensive material or report blocked material that is not sexual content or potentially offensive.”

If the ISPs fail to comply, they could be sued by the state attorney general and face fines of up to $500 per violation.

Im sure they would attempt to enforce by use of content blockers. Still wouldnt prevent a VPN user from accessing tho.

If you dont have a VPN I suggest you seriously consider it....
