A Utah lawmaker is pushing for UK-inspired mandatory porn filters to be applied to the internet in the state.
The laws are being proposed by Republican senator Todd Weiler, who compared the effects of porn to the damage caused by tobacco in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune.
Speaking to the paper, he said: “I believe that pornography today is like tobacco was 70 years ago. 70 years ago people said tobacco’s not addictive and it’s not harmful, and that’s what some people are saying about pornography today. I happen to believe that it is addictive and it is harmful.”
He continued: “It’s undermining marriages, it’s undermining relationships, and ultimately if someone gets divorced, that affects the government, because we end up with more children and spouses on government welfare.”
