US Supreme Court Upholds CIPA

Posted by Hemos on Monday June 23, 2003 @03:41AM from the and-filtering-for-all dept.

TheMatt writes "The US Supreme Court today has upheld CIPA, the law that required public schools and libraries to put internet filters on computers or lose federal funding. Quote: 'The court in a 5-4 decision ruled that the Children's Internet Protection Act does not violate the First Amendment, but that filters sometimes, do block informational Web sites.'" The decision will be posted on the US Supreme Court website later today. The case is United States v. American Library Association, 02-361. We had covered this story before.

Yeah ok, I can see how someone moderated this as flamebait (though I don't agree - wonder if saying that's going to get me modded -1 Asshole or something in this crowd) but I thought it deserved to be modded funny.

Odd, it's now Score:2, Funny. That was quick.
