- Any day now, the United States Supreme Court will hand down its decision
in the legal challenge to the Communications Decency Act (CDA).
Visit the Citizens Internet
Empowerment Coalition for the latest news about the case.
- The Voters Telecommunications Watch
and their excellent announcement electronic mailing list.
- Censoring GNU Emacs
describes how the Communications Decency Act required
the GNU Project to censor GNU Emacs--and how this paradoxically
had the opposite of the effect that the censors wanted.
- F.A.C.T.Net Inc.

and privacy rights.

- You can read the
June 1996 appeals court decision
rejecting censorship of the Internet. But remember, this decision
is not final! First, the Supreme Court will agree or disagree;
then Congress gets a chance to look for another method of censorship.
