No, not really. Utilitarianism has its place, but it always has a lot of flaws that make it very poorly suited as something to basic any legal framework of it.
Like the fact certain types can be used to basically justify anything the majority likes, regardless of whether it's really fair on anyone else. You could argue banning various social and religious views is acceptable as a utilitarian, so long as the majority of the population would be happier with them banned.
