The Communications Decency Act

Communication regulation The US government should not attempt to restrict the Internet. The Internet is not American, it is not our responsibility to save the world. The Telecommunications Reform Act does just that and places the rules on the Internet. Edward Cabazos said, says William Gibson.

Section 502 of the Telecommunications Act 1996 is commonly referred to as the "Communication Code Law" and details the content that can not be transmitted through the WWW to minors under the age of 18. The "Communication Code Law" regulates the distribution or display of "obscenity, obscenity, obscenity" materials to minors. However, the words of the bill are ambiguous, and many people think that the bill will affect what adults can access on the web. Many people believe that the act is blatant censorship and is therefore unconstitutional. Some Internet organizations and companies are requesting the court to treat the act as unconstitutional. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court. In June 1997, the Supreme Court ruled that adults are restricted from accessing online information by the law and was therefore considered illegal.

It turned out that Martyrim and the Communications Regulation Law did not hinder the freedom of the Internet. On the contrary, there is a strange turning point in the fate of our legal scholar who likes to call "satire". In the case called ACLU versus Reno in 1997, the US Supreme Court rejected CDA. It stated that freedom of expression of the first amendment is fully applicable to the Internet. The only remaining portion of the CDA may seem contrary to the purpose of Congress to get rid of online pornography. Internet service providers do not need to oversee the network about pornography and most other annoying content and will not be a problem as they do not do so. It is the rule of this CDA that the Internet is a platform of so many "user-generated contents" such as video, review, social networking posting.
