First reported by the Arizona Mirror, the bill would require retailers to install porn-filter software on all new internet-capable devices sold in Arizona. The filter would only be removed if the customer asked for it, they could prove that they were at least 18 years old, and paid at least $20. The $20 fee would be sent to the state, but retailers would be allowed to charge more on top of that.
....The bill also says that the software should block all access to any website that facilitates prostitution and revenge porn. And retailers are required to set up a way for Arizona residents to report any “obscene material” that makes it through the filter. If the company doesn’t block the offending website “within a reasonable amount of time after receiving a report” then the retailer faces a fine of $500 per website, plus attorney’s fees.
The bill also helpfully define “pornography” in bizarre detail, including the kind of nudity that’s not permitted. That includes any “female breast below a point immediately above the top of the areola” as well as “male genitals in a discernibly turgid state, whether covered or uncovered.” No sweatpants boners allowed, fellas.
