Court affirms online content law unconstitutional
Associated Press - July 22, 2008 7:33 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal appeals court says it agrees that the Child Online Protection Act is overly broad and vague. The decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia also found the law violates the First Amendment. That's because online filtering and other parental control tools offer a less restrictive way to protect children from inappropriate content. Today's decision affirms a lower court ruling that struck down the 1998 law meant to bar Web sites from making harmful content available to minors over the Internet. The law has not yet taken effect. It's the latest twist in a decade-long legal battle that has already reached the Supreme Court and could be headed back there. An ACLU attorney argues that Congress has been trying to restrict speech on the Internet far more than it can restrict speech in books and magazines. But, he said, "the rules should be the same." http://www.kmph.com/Global/story.asp...&nav=menu612_2 |

Re: Court affirms online content law unconstitutional
Yes, that's odd, I posted this exact same thread/story about 10 threads down.
Must be an echo in here. (You know, a couple days ago when it actually happened)

Re: Court affirms online content law unconstitutional
Check how he spells "Emperor" or "Emporer"
'Cause if it's "Emporer," then he's a copycat. "Emporer" is intentionally mis-spelled, and I've been using that handle since back in BBS days, cica' 1993 or earlier.

Re: Court affirms online content law unconstitutional
I do wear clothes...the exact same clothes, everyday.
Black shirt, black pants, (usually jeans, or jeans shorts) black shoes, Black belt, black suspenders, and black socks (with the initial "W" embroidered on them.) Around here, they think I'm Amish, until they see the tech hanging off my belt, and bulging forth, from my always two pocket shirts..... I find it easier to have all the same in closet. Only changes are Long/short sleeve/leg, depending on season. Always 100% cotton. (Preferably American Cotton. Socks sometimes have 10% lycra for "grab.")

Re: Court affirms online content law unconstitutional
Yes, I'm familiar with the fable.....and your veiled reference to it.
I chose to ignore it and take it as literal. Life, and business, are not always a fortune cookie, you know?

Re: Court affirms online content law unconstitutional
Glad to hear that the court ruled it unconstitutional, even with some conservative judges appointed by Bush
