Book Description
To manage the problems related to the availability of Internet pornography in public libraries, Congress enacted the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). It made the use of filtering software by public libraries a condition of the permit of federal funding. It was done to prevent minors from accessing content that is harmful to them. However, the District Court held these requirements invalid because they induce public libraries to violate consumers' First Amendment rights.

Youth, Pornography, and the Internet
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030917015X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
The Internet has changed the way we access the world. This is especially true for kids, who soak up new technologies like eager little sponges. They have access to an enormous array of material, including educational links, sports info, chat roomsâ€"and, unfortunately, pornography. But we must approach our need to protect children with care to avoid placing unnecessary restrictions on the many positive features of the Internet. Youth, Pornography, and the Internet examines approaches to protecting children and teens from Internet pornography, threats from sexual predators operating on-line, and other inappropriate material on the Internet. The National Research Council's Computer Science and Telecommunications Board explores a number of fundamental questions: Who defines what is inappropriate material? Do we control Internet access by a 17-year-old in the same manner as for a 7-year-old? What is the role of technology and policy in solving such a problem in the context of family, community, and society? The book discusses social and educational strategies, technological tools, and policy options for how to teach children to make safe and appropriate decisions about what they see and experience on the Internet. It includes lessons learned from case studies of community efforts to intervene in kids' exposure to Internet porn. Providing a foundation for informed debate, this very timely and relevant book will be a must-read for a variety of audiences.

Freedom of Connection, Freedom of Expression
Author:
Publisher: UNESCO
ISBN: 9231041886
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
As this publication explains, freedom of expression is not just a by-product of technical change; it must be protected by legal and regulatory measures that balance a variety of potentially conflicting values and interests in a complex global ecology of choices. The impetus that this report provides for the prioritization of research in this field encourages further scrutiny of the multifaceted issues that govern the conditions for freedom of expression on the Internet. The findings of this research point to the need to better track a wider array of global, legal and regulatory trends. It is my hope that this publication proves to be a useful and informative resource for all users working in this domain, whether individual researchers, students or policy makers.
