The march to ban, or least sequester, porn continues. A tech wizard from Utah has founded CP80 (stands for Clean Port 80, the port on which all web browser content resides) which seeks to change the way the internet works so that porn (or any other non-desired content) can be blocked from ever appearing on your computer.

Under this groups' plan, basically all porn would be assigned to one of the 61538 'ports'. Block the port that porn originates from, and and you are done.

And it doesn't appear these folks are just blowing smoke, they've already had meetings with Utah's congressional delegation.

Yarro or members of the CP80 group have made presentations to Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett, R-Utah, as well as state Reps. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, and Jim Matheson, D-Utah. The group has also had phone conversations with Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah.

"From my perspective, all of the local guys have been generally supportive," Yarro said. "We feel good about it."

In a statement issued last week, Hatch called Internet pornography a "clear and present danger to children and families," and he praised the efforts of CP80.

There is already a lengthy Slashdot dicsussion on the issue.
