Pennsylvania Child Porn Act Overturned

Posted by michael on from the porn-for-everyone dept.

Ghoser777 writes "According to MSNBC, a Pennsylvanian law that required ISPs to filter/block websites containing child porn has been overturned by a federal judge. Child porn is still illegal under U.S. federal law, but the judge found that 'there is an abundance of evidence that implementation of the Act has resulted in massive suppression of speech protected by the First Amendment.'"

    Maybe porn sites could just set the "evil bit" in the headers of pages that contain child porn, so that the ISPs won't need to guess which pages are the bad porn and which are the good porn.
