CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) "Judges Toss Out Online Porn Law" MULTNOMAH COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
From the story, "Public libraries cannot be forced to use Internet filters designed to block pornography, three federal judges said Friday in overturning a new federal law. In a 195-page decision, the judges said the Children's Internet Protection Act went too far because the filters can also blocked access to sites that contain protected speech."
