FTFA: > The bill also would prohibit access to any online hub that facilities prostitution and would require manufacturers or sellers to block any websites that facilitate trafficking, Chumley said. At this point, I'm thinking to myself, "South Carolina is a hotbed of human trafficking?!" > “The human trafficking thing has exploded. It’s gotten to be a real problem,” Chumley said. > State officials have categorized the Upstate as a hotbed for human trafficking due to its location on Interstate 85 between Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C., two cities that consistently rank among the top 20 for human sex trafficking in the U.S. Oh. Yeah, it's a stupid solution, but he says that's not the point. It's to draw attention to the problem. The article wasn't even long.

It doesn't seem like he's proposing the bill as a PR stunt to bring attention to human trafficking, but rather to the fact that porn is easily available: > “It’s where almost everybody has access to a computer now. It’s porn on demand,” Chumley said. “We have to start somewhere. … We’re bringing attention to it. We’re not being political. It’s an issue I’m pretty passionate about.” He also said that they're going to continue debating the bill: > Chumley referred to the bill as a “beginning point” and said once the legislation is debated in session, changes could be made.
