RedNova News: Court Urged to Reinstate Online Porn Law

RedNova News: Court Urged to Reinstate Online Porn Law: "A Philadelphia-based appeals court has twice ruled that the 1998 law, known as the Child Online Protection Act, unconstitutionally restricts speech. The law has been on hold since it was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of artists, book stores and others who put information on the Web."

I'm glad Ashcroft doesn't have any terrorists to worry about. BTW, this law would effectively shut down or criminalize a great many sites that use words like fuck, shit, or ever link to or contain pictures of a woman's nipple or man's ass. Which is why it was found unConstitutional, twice.
