1voteLast week, in the most significant Internet free speech case since the Supreme Court struck down part of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) in 1997, the Center for Democracy & Technology filed a "friend of the court" brief in a federal appeals court challenging the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) as a violation of the First Amendment. The "amicus" brief, submitted to the Third Circuit court in Philadelphia on behalf of CDT and 17 other groups, argued that COPA places unconstitutional burdens on creators and distributors of legitimate Web content, including websites focusing on sexual identity, health, and art. Other strategies are more effective than COPA at protecting children from online content deemed inappropriate for them, and also impose fewer restrictions on lawful adult speech.

information about CIPA from the SLD (administers of e-rate funds) -
3voteThe Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law enacted by Congress in December 2000 to address concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers. CIPA imposes certain types of requirements on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the “E-rate” program – a program that makes certain technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. In early 2001, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued rules implementing CIPA.
