  What a strange idea. I guess you'd call it 'government as digital pimp'.

  the police drinking whiskey in the squad cars watching porn are gonna have to figure out how to get around this!

    Why would you think government vehicles would be subjected to this? Law enforcement may have legitimate businesses purposes to access adult websites in the course of an investigation.

      And also very legitimate purposes for calling girls over to drink whiskey with them? It was good whiskey though!

  So this is an overglorified luxury tax-type arrangement. Rather than being a block for the purposes of stopping human trafficking... it's just a way to collect money to fund anti-human trafficking efforts, collected from those who want to watch adult film.
