For Star subscribers: But some worry about government power; that enforcement won't work; and that adults' rights will be sacrificed.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — State lawmakers are struggling to find a way to keep minors from accessing internet porn.
But her idea of adults having to give information such as a driver's license to a website proved to be a non-starter, unable to clear the Senate. "I know it's not like a fun thing to say as a politician,'' he told Capitol Media Services."I do not trust the government even a little bit. Why would I want to give the government that kind of power?''
"But the government doesn't get to say 'This speech is socially undesirable, consume less of it,' '' said the attorney and first-term lawmaker."That is emphatically not our role.'' It's even more complicated than that. Only when a"substantial portion'' of a website's materials meet all three tests would the content provider have to consult the blacklist to see if a customer asked that the site be blocked. The legislation defines"substantial'' as 33 1/3%.
Rep. Alma Hernandez, D-Tucson, said she doesn't think children should be looking at pornography, but the measure lacks any sort of enforcement mechanism.
