ACLU And Others Weigh In On CIPA Injunction

Posted by timothy on from the and-of-their-children's-children's-children dept.

A report on censorware.net has an update on the legal fight over the Children's Internet Protection Act; yesterday the ACLU, ALA and others filed briefs supporting the injunction calling CIPA unconstitutional issued by a three-judge court last May. The Supreme Court will hear the case on March 5th. (A search on "CIPA" is a good way to catch up on this act, which is basically about installing mandatory censorware on child-accessable publicly funded computers.)

    Sounds good to me.

    I would glady trade my privelege of "online privacy" (whatever that means) in order to live safely in a world free of terror.

    What makes you think that you have some inherent right to "online privacy" or "online freedom"? I don't see that in the bill of rights or the constitution itself, do you?

    We are living in a new era. Get used to it or go somewhere else⦠Delta is ready when you are.

    Sure, why don't we allow print pornography in public libraries too? This is not about the first amendment. It is about moral values. Go ahead... argue away.

    Believe it or not, there are actually parents out there that don't mind their children looking at naked people.

    Believe it or not, it's common knowledge that parents like that produce fucked up kids.

    Go back to your commune and eat some more fucking brown rice, dude.
