Communications act of 1996 - Reno vs ACLU.
Edited on Sun Mar-20-05 01:11 PM by HypnoToad
It's unanimous! Free speech wins in the United States Supreme Court. Here is the full text of the Reno v. ACLU decision (~93Kb).

The CDA would have subjected all online content to an unconstitutionally vague and severe "indecency" restriction, imposed speech-chilling liability on Internet access providers, and criminalized even classic works of literature and art, and medical and educational materials about sex and health. We now await the inevitable "Son of CDA"...

Now consider what the FCC has done with television. Gee, where's the supremne court? Getting jacked off and blown by Michael Powell (and whomever is controller of the Fascist Communications Consortium now?)
