Title: John McCain Human Trafficking Fund (Porn Tax)

One recent effort is in my home state of Arizona. Republican state senator Gail Griffin has introduced HB 2444, the "Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act." The bill would require any manufacturer or supplier of any product that provides access to the Internet to block residents of Arizona from accessing adult content. The filters would need to block all forms of porn and “any hub that facilitates prostitution.”

The only way that those living in our fair state could have uncensored Internet access would be to prove they are at least 18 years old and pay a $20 unblocking fee to the state. Revenues from fees would go into a fund called the John McCain Human Trafficking Fund. The fund would make grants for projects that "uphold community standards of decency." The highest-priority grant would be to help pay for construction costs in Arizona of President Trump’s proposed wall along the US-Mexico border. This seems odd, since McCain criticized the border wall.

Not to mention rather unconstitutional. The government deciding what content is fit to be viewed? Wasn’t that settled like 50 years ago?

Just like gun ownership the majority of porn watchers like the majority of any other “vice” are not the problem. Further restricting the law abiding will do nothing to stop the criminals and will only drive them deeper underground.
