Sounds fine; it's their culture and prerogative. Probably a benefit to deter such consumption for as many youth and young adults as possible, given the negative impact on mental health.

#12Does Utah actually have that much market power? Could manufacturers just stop selling to Utah?
Says five other states must adopt similar laws before it would actually become enforceable law. Still one fantasizes about manufactures simply deciding to not sell cell phones to the entire state.

If this passed, I'd find it amusing if the only phones for sale in Utah were just a couple of the cheapest Android phones with Utah special software loaded.

Jim Crow was a significant part of the South's culture, and no state has the prerogative of First Amendment violations.

#15I thought Utah was a GOP state? What happened to 'small government'? This seems like shoving gov't down your throat.
UT has more overbearing regulations than any other state. They are also far and away the most conservative state. Not all conservatives in the US are aligned with them, it’s just that the cult majority have regulatory capture.

No thanks, I’d prefer one state’s extremist religious inclinations not tank liberty for everyone else. They can monitor their own phones and their own computers and leave everyone else’s alone.

GOP policies have never been “small government” (in my life). They just like to say it.

#18I mean if it at all stops some kid from getting human trafficked or from getting a porn addiction at 12 then I can’t say that it’s one of the worst laws ever.
States should be free to make these kinds of laws IMO, but not the federal government. There are plenty of states for all types of cultures to thrive without fighting. We should leave more things for the States/People to handle, 10th Amendment!

#19> require location tracking for any device activated in Utah
So if I was driving through Utah and my phone was wiped, the manufacturer would have to push a porn filter down for it to be legal?

This is a clear violation of the first amendment, right?
