Ars Technica has an interesting article about how you could be fined $1000 if minors use your unprotected WiFi access to browse for adult material. That’s a bill that is discussed in Utah.
“If you live in Orem and your next-door neighbor’s kid uses your open WAP to look at pictures of naked women, you could find yourself on the hook for a $1,000 fine. Yarro thinks that’s fine, telling the Tribune that people “should be responsible for their barking dogs and their Internet access.”
So… the kid steals your bandwidth to browse naked pictures and you get fined $1000? What about fining the parents who can’t teach or keep an eye on their kids? And what if the kid breaks into your living room and watches adult movies with your TV?
