> require location tracking for any device activated in Utah

So if I was driving through Utah and my phone was wiped, the manufacturer would have to push a porn filter down for it to be legal?

Not really. The penalty is if a minor happens to use your activated-in-the-state device to access adult content.

If you, an adult, activated it within the state and you, the adult, were the only one using it for anything (including porn) there'd be no penalty, if I understood the legislation correctly.

If you the adult owner activate the device and then deactivate the filter and then a minor uses it to access porn, there's no penalty either.
