CIPA Upheld Next Week

from the antiporn-filters dept.
Censorship Jim Faith writes "In an article by Linda Greenhouse, published in the New York Times, the recent developments of the Children Internt Protection Act (CIPA) is reported. Greenhouse writes: "Of the 11 cases argued in February, only one is undecided and only Chief Justice Rehnquist has not written a majority opinion. The case, United States v. American Library Association, raises the First Amendment question of whether the government can require public libraries to install antipornography filters restricting Internet access. If Chief Justice Rehnquist is in fact writing the majority opinion, there is little doubt that the court will uphold the law, the Children's Internet Protection Act."

    I can say now that I have decrypted the N2H2 blacklist.
    See my DMCA testimony [sethf.com]

    But my censorware [sethf.com] investigations cannot continue without some sort of organizational backing and protection.

    I am NOT a Harvard/Berkman Fellow backed by the ACLU. I cannot do further work without institutional support.

    The paragraph continues:

    "On the other hand, he is one of the court's fastest writers, raising the question of why the decision in what is now the term's oldest undecided case is taking so long. One possibility is that there are many separate opinions, both concurring and dissenting. Perhaps he started out writing a majority opinion but lost the majority along the way."

    Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. - Isaac Asimov
