Comment on How can a US state block porn?

It is impossible. US states make the law, and require the websites to self-block the IP addresses within the state using geo-ip. It’s a flawed solution, but comes with the benefit of being able to sue any semi-large website for not self-blocking and the state receives free fine money. Best part is the state doesn’t actually have to do anything, just pass the law and rake in the publicity.
