"SB1125 would allow parents to blacklist their IP addresses from porn sites in an attempt to keep their kids off them." I hate it when people who know nothing about how the Internet works try to legislate like this. Filtering by IP address is neither scalable nor effective when most people have IP addresses that are dynamically assigned, easy to change, and VPNs are easy to use. If parents want to filter porn, it's much, much easier for parents to do it on their side using a firewall or web proxy and DNS filter, which persists over dynamic IP changes. There are still ways to get around it (e.g., VPN or use of a mobile device!), so there's no substitute for having conversations with kids and managing their device use.
Yeah...maybe. Or just do what House Speaker Johnson and his kid do. They have some way of keeping track of what keystrokes forming words are used in each others search engines. Used to be so easy to just find Dads Playboy mags.
That's "Covenant Eyes," which runs as an app on your devices. Highly NOT recommended. Spyware apps like that seem to have a habit of introducing vulnerabilities and having data breaches.
Just put a piece of duct tape over the url. That should block things, no? Just don't tell the Republicans in the legislature - they might take that seriously.
