+ - Child Online Protection Act Appeal Rejected

Submitted by
TarrVetus
TarrVetus writes "The Associated Press reports that a federal appeals court in Philadelphia has ruled that the Child Online Protection Act will not be revived, upholding a 2007 decision that the unimplimented 1998 law is unconstitutional. The law, which made it a crime for websites to allow children access to "harmful" material, was declared a violation of the First Amendment because of existing elective filtering technologies and parental controls that are less restrictive to free speech than the "ineffective" and "overly broad" ban."
