Utah officially declares p*rn a public health hazard

Utah has declared pornography a public health hazard and ruled that computer technicians who find child pornography on a computer report it to police.

In Republican-backed moves supported by the Mormon Church the resolution declares pornography an epidemic that normalises violence against women and children and makes men less likely to want to get married.

"The volume of pornography in our society is staggering," Herbert said at a bill-signing ceremony in Salt Lake City, Utah's capital. "I want to protect our families and our young people."

Supporters said Utah's moves would help combat human trafficking, pornography addiction and rape.

The Free Speech Coalition, an industry association representing adult entertainment producers, called the public health hazard designation an "old-fashioned morals bill" that was not grounded in science.

Seems like a great move … What say you ?
