S.C. Requires Computer Technicians to Report Pornography

S.C. Gov. Jim Hodges signed legislation on July 20 that will require computer technicians who view pornographic images while working on a computer to report the name and address of the PC owner or user to law enforcement authorities. The rule was an amendment to Bill 3891 establishing education standards for day-care users. The measure adds the computer technicians to a section of the state code that imposes a similar requirement on film technicians when they are developing film.
