Court Strikes Down Online Porn Law
from the so-much-online-porn-legal-stuff dept
Seems like an awful lot of "legal issues" stories related to online porn these days. Just days after the Supreme Court started to hear arguments about whether libraries should be forced to install filters, a Court of Appeals has ruled that the Child Online Protection Act is unconstitutional. This case has bounced around a bit, as it was sent up to the Supreme Court for clarification last year, and I imagine it's nowhere close to over yet. The judges found that the law is unconstitutional because it ends up blocking too much perfectly legal content.
