Internet Censorship: Dead or Just Dormant?


Author: Leslie Harris

[Commentary] Sure, COPA is dead, but what happens next? Will Congress once again beat against the tide and enact yet another Internet censorship law? After all, COPA was Congress's answer to the Supreme Courts 9-0 decision striking down the Communications Decency Act. Will the Obama administration slam the coffin on Internet censorship laws once and for all? It would seem so. The Obama Platform says that the new Administration "values our First Amendment freedom" and "does not view regulation as the answer to these concerns." However, it's not clear the Congress will fall in line.
