context: My god we must protect the children by violating the fuck out of everyone else’s rights and it just so happens we will be doing that in a very specific way that doesn’t involve blocking disturbing material from Christian cults designed to indoctrinate children into a very specific political ideology. >

  Honestly, if big name employers were to come out and say they'd reject all candidates from state universities and schools within these states, it'd drive a lot of prospective majors out of the state and onto greener pastures. 
  Currently, there's no statute blocking discrimination on the grounds of your school, and Tennessee would be unable to go after corporations based in other states, who are expressing their rights to freedom of association, as dignified and free people. >
  
  Someone else was making the same argument for Florida, but at a certain point, those conservative states will constitute a significant minority of the US population if you use the abortion ban map as a reference. What then? >
  
  Tennessee also sought to remove age limits when marrying and, last fall, a local public radio station ran a story about how children are spending the night in Tennessee's DCS offices due to a lack of resources, funding, space, and safety issues. Tennessee has also fought against providing meals to children in Tennessee schools, made children go back to school while sick during a pandemic, banned virtual learning, and also tried to ban masks in schools. Lawmakers in the state do not care about children. >
  
  Who is going to pay for this content filter?
  Who decides which content to block?
  Who is financially responsible to sites whose content gets blocked through error? I'm sure Facebook and Amazon would be quite upset if nobody in Tennessee could connect for more than an hour.
  Who is responsible when kids realize that internet filtering doesn't actually work and they are still able to access the porn? Filters are ridiculously easy to bypass with just a little research. The people selling the porn make way more money than the people trying to find and block the loopholes. >
  
  Who decides? Big Brother, of course. >
  
  So much for keeping government out of our lives. >
  
  Once again Republicans showing how much they HATE the government interfering in our lives. >
  
  The nanny state is at it again! >
  
  Something something let the free market decide. >
  
  So no one will go to another state and buy a phone? >
  
  Bill summary here and I cannot find anywhere where they define what exactly constitutes "harmful to minors"; plus, doesn't this bill include teenagers as well? Shouldn't there be different gradations for elementary vs high school students? >
  
  Dumbest thing I’ve ever read
