美国南卡罗莱纳州将要求厂商为电脑安装色情内容过滤器 [美国媒体]

South Carolina representative Bill Chumley has proposed a bill that would make it slightly more difficult for people in his state to watch porn. The bill would require manufacturers to install “digital blocking capabilities” on their computers that would ban access to internet porn, The Charlotte Observer reports.

据夏洛特观察者报报道，南卡罗来纳州议员Bill Chumley已经提交了一项可能导致这个州的居民浏览色情内容更加困难的法案。这个法案将要求电脑制造商们在电脑上安装“数字过滤器”以阻止电脑连接到网络色情信息。

But Chumley’s plans don’t end there. The bill also suggests a loophole for its own requirements: manufacturers could choose to pay $20 per device to opt out of the software installation, and buyers could pay the same amount to remove the porn filter (as long as they verify they are 18 or older) according to the Observer. The money collected via this loophole will go toward funding a human trafficking prevention task force.

但是Chumley的方案还不仅仅是这样。这个法案同时提供了另外一个选择：制造商们可以选择支付20美元的费用以避免安装过滤器软件，同时消费者如果要想解除这个色情信息的封禁，也得支付同样的金额（只要被证实他们年满18岁）。通过这个渠道收集的资金将被用于资助一个反贩卖人口的部门。

In case it’s not obvious, it’s very, very unlikely this bill will ever become a law. But, to humor Chumley, some questions: will this blocking software — what is essentially ransomware — only be installed on computers sold in South Carolina? Will South Carolinians just order laptops online? Does this make any sense?

这个法案非常，非常不可能获得通过成为一项法律。但是，想顺便问问Chumley一些问题：这个过滤软件----其实就是个勒索软件----将只被安装在于南卡罗来纳州出售的电脑上吗？那这个州的居民何不上网购买电脑？有什么意义？

Here are some other bills that Chumley (a Republican, age 69) has sponsored in his time as a political man: a bill that would allow people to carry weapons into college athletic events, one that would prevent a court from “enforcing foreign law,” and a proposal that would designate March 26th as “South Carolina Independence Day.”

以下是这位69岁的共和党人Chumley作为一名政客期间提出的一些法案：一个允许人们持武器进入大学运动会的法案；一个阻止法院“执行外国法律”的法案以及一个将3月26日作为“南卡罗来纳独立日”的提议。

Let ‘em do it. Hopefully, the manufacturers won’t cave in, so no one in S.C. can buy a computer, and we can free the internet from yet another group of Conservatives who seem to think "Small Government" needs to be in your life, home, and bedroom.

随他们了。希望制造商们不要屈服，那么南卡罗来纳州就没人会买电脑，我们就可以把互联网从那些认为你的生活、家以及卧室里都需要“小政府”的保守派手中解放出来。

I agree with the stupidity of this and other bill/proposed law like it, however, there is a pretty substantial population of SC that is not conservative. I say we lock the conservatives’ computers instead since they voted these hypocritical lawmakers into office.

（回复上一贴）我同意这个以及其他类似的法案/提议都挺蠢的，但是，南卡罗来纳州有大量的人口不是保守派。我觉得由于这些保守派投票给那些虚伪的立法者，还是把他们的电脑给锁起来比较好。

What this means it that the entire state can now be served by one 2400 baud dial up AOL account.
SC is where brains, souls, and education go to die. I often wish that that one state could have somehow been allowed to win its secession efforts. An American embarrassment.

这意味着整个州现在可以用一个2400波特率拨号上网的美国在线账号来服务。
南卡罗来纳就是一个脑子、精神、教育统统去死的地方。我常常希望某个州可以不管任何方式的被允许脱离联邦。真是美国的耻辱。

Oh, but they’ll be the first to tell you they’re the "real America."
And if by real they mean hopelessly stuck with an 18th century worldview, then I guess they’re right.

（回复上一贴）啊，他们会第一时间告诉你他们才是“真正的美国（人）”。
而且如果他们无可救药的持有这种18世纪的世界观，那么我觉得他们还说对了。

Be funnier if they charge $ per category to unblock or have different tier to unblocking.

如果他们按照（色情内容）种类进行解禁收费或者分级解禁会更有趣。

At least allow the basic genres and only charge for the more advanced weird stuff.

（回复上两贴）至少得放开基本的种类，只对那些高级重口味的东西收费。

Were this bill passed, I bet that manufacturers would just pass on the opt-out fee to consumers and call it a day.

要是这法案通过了，我打赌制造商们就羊毛出在羊身上，把这费用转嫁给消费者了。

他们说在南卡罗来纳州，自由不是免费的
它值20美元

I understand the people who want to try and solve the problems that pornography can wreak. Porn addiction sucks and can ruin lives like alcohol, sugar, Internet, gambling, or any other addiction can.
But fearful biblical-like prohibition is not the answer.
America needs to do some soul-searching and do more like Europe. Instead of punishment and self-loathing it needs to be education and trust.

我理解那些想尝试并解决色情带来的严重后果的人们。色情成瘾真的很糟糕，它会像酒精、糖、互联网、赌博或者其他容易上瘾的东西一样毁掉生活。
但是这么可怕的一刀切不是正确的答案。
美国需要做一些反思并向欧洲学习。应该用教育和信任来取代惩罚和自我厌恶。

To be fair, the U.K. has a similar nonsensical requirement for isps to provide an opt-out adult filter.

(回复上一贴)老实说，英国也有类似要求网络服务供应商提供成人内容过滤器的荒谬要求。

yeh I mean more scandinavia UK is like 10% Europe

（回复上一回复）对，我其实指的是北欧，英国也就差不多欧洲的十分之一而已。
