Anything that goes against their religious believes is blocked, cult websites, porn, drugs, etc. This is absurd, what ever happened to separation of church and state?

Missionary style pornography will result in a fine or up to 30 days in jail, while pornography that involves any kind of homogayness, that being sodomy or Devil worshipping, will result in long-term prison sentences. Law enforcement will also be working closely with local ISPs and the NSA to monitor those who search out porn on the internet. We will win the war on porn and masturbation.”

It says click here to temporarily disable the filters. Does that work?
Stream your porn, don't download it.

Maybe going on tor triggered red flags too idk, like you said though I would go in on Monday and tell them you are switching to thier competition ISP. Once they start saying "oh no we can't lose you as a customer to them." I would explain to them that they would need to make me an offer I can't refuse, otherwise they can kindly fuck off and never have your business from you, family, or friends ever again.

Mega fucked up. You can go to your ISP and bitch all you want, but I think you should probably also write to your state representatives as well. I don't know how much it'll do, but people in office pander to constituents who give a shit enough to vote.
Also, check to see if the fuckface who passed this shit is up for re-election come November.

Dude, the mormons acknowledge that each building can generate up to a million dollars a year in revenue if there were multiple stakes with a hundred members each making an average salary of $56,000 or so and paying 10% tax to the church.
They receive billions of dollars a year globally and they obviously don't use it all for humanitarian efforts as they would like you to believe.
If this can happen and entrap a large percentage of an entire state we're in trouble. Think about the less obvious manipulations the government and private entitys are doing of public thought.

I know the library service over here in the UK blocks the shroomery. I was told it was due to the "Note to parents" link on the home page, and the fact that the online library system is shared with schools and that school children can use the library's computers. Oddly enough, I could access mycotopia, even with their 'bare naked ladies' thread. I haven't tried accessing the other sites you mentioned.
I'd be totaly pissed off if my ISP (aol) were to do that, we have a lot of other ISP's we could change to but I'm guessing if one ISP were to do it, it would be due to government interference/dictat, and they would have all been forced do follow suit.

From what I've read and understand of the Utah law is that you have to call your ISP and opt in to seeing the porn. I didn't think this law was in effect but oh well. I knew they were saying under the guise of public health that porn and other unsavory sites would be automatically blocked without opting out of the program.
5 states require that the ISP provides software or a way to block such public health hazard for free.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I used this site for a while as here in the UK there was a popular porn site with amateurs on it that was blocked. I was able to get onto it using my phone (different isp). Eventually I figured it was just not resolving the DNS, which is strange, as I was using openDNS on my router, I think.
Oh well, that proxy should work for you.
