The American Civil Liberties Union has recently contributed amicus briefs to the courts in two important Federal Circuit level cases dealing with online freedom of speech. The ACLU has gone on record as supporting Yahoo's position in its case, Yahoo v. La Ligue Contre le racisme et L'antisemitisme (9th Cir.), to avoid regulation by French authorities that demand Yahoo take certain of its auctions offline becasue they pertain to Nazis. In the other case, The Taubman Company v. Webfeats and Henry Mishkoff (6th Cir.), the ACLU favors the position of a Texas man who owns several websites critical of a local shopping mall and the law firm that represents it. The ACLU's brief in the Yahoo case, as well as ACLU's brief in the Taubman case are available online, as is their press release.
