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.'"

    Our country really is on a one way path to Hell isnt it. It gets worse every day I think. The change is though coming on rather slowly. One of these days we will wake up and wonder why its so hot, and why it smells like brimstone....
