Lawmakers in more than 15 states have proposed legislation that would censor the internet and stifle free speech in an ill-conceived attempt to prevent human trafficking.<\/p>\n

State Lawmakers Propose Internet Censorship under Guise of Preventing Human Trafficking<\/h2>\n

The \u201cHuman Trafficking and Prevention Act<\/a>\u201d (HTPA), versions of which are currently circulating in state legislature across the country, forces manufacturers to install so-called \u201cobscenity filters\u201d that would block pornography and other supposedly-objectionable content on computers, cell phones, and all other internet-enabled devices.<\/p>\n

To remove the HTPA filters, users would have to pay a $20 fee \u2014 per device \u2014 an \u201cinternet censorship tax\u201d that would be paid to the government. Considering that approximately one-fifth of American households<\/a> own 10 or more internet-connected devices, this fee will become quite prohibitive for many families.<\/p>\n

Device owners seeking to have the filter removed would also have to submit a written request to the manufacturer, and privacy advocates also warn that companies would likely be required to maintain records on everyone who paid to have the filters removed.<\/p>\n

This policy is clearly meant to shame users, many of whom would desire to remove this state-mandated bloatware for reasons other than viewing pornographic material. Gamers and other resource-intensive users desire to remove unnecessary programs to enhance device performance, and the filter would likely prevent more-robust internet filters \u2014 such as those that many parents already use to ensure that their children stay safe online \u2014 from functioning properly.<\/p>\n

The HTPA Would Erode Free Speech<\/h2>\n

The most insidious effect of the HTPA, however, is that it would erode the right to free speech, which has been codified into the First Amendment and upheld by the Supreme Court throughout the nation\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) noted in its scathing takedown<\/a> of the HTPA, this bill would create a \u201cmassive, easily abused censorship apparatus\u201d that would give the government unprecedented authority to censor internet content.<\/p>\n

Such schemes always begin with content that many users find objectionable or may be embarrassed to defend \u2014 such as pornography \u2014 but censorship power, once granted to the government, can just as easily be expanded to include other thoughtcrimes as well.<\/p>\n

As Rick Falvinge wrote in response to a similarly-concerning internet censorship program<\/a> adopted by the UK, even those with moral objections to pornography should be alarmed at such sweeping attempts to allow government censors to weasel their way between content producers and consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cA partial ban on pornography online is the thin edge of a 200-ton steel wedge between yourself and any information the government doesn\u2019t want you to see,\u201d he concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
