(Final?) Update on Child Online Protection Act

Link to January 21 yahoo news post, "Anti-porn online law dies quietly in Supreme Court".

Excerpt: A federal law intended to restrict children's access to Internet pornography died quietly Wednesday at the Supreme Court, more than 10 years after Congress overwhelmingly approved it.

The Child Online Protection Act would have barred Web sites from making harmful content available to minors over the Internet. The law had been embroiled in challenges to its constitutionality since it passed in 1998 and never took effect.
