The internet provider in the Memphis area, Comcast, operates their system out of Mississippi, which has that stupid, unenforceable law. So, even though that law does not exist in Tennessee (yet, but keep watching) anyone who wanted to visit a porn site couldn't, even though there is no law in TN that stops a user from seeing porn absent an ID check. Seems that Mississippi doesn't understand or care about interfering in interstate commerce. Wonder if the ACLU would be interested in pursuing it?
