Betty **************** "Judges Toss Out Online Porn Law" MULTNOMAH COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AP story at: http://library.northernlight.com/EB20020531490000023.html From the story, "Public libraries cannot be forced to use Internet filters designed to block pornography, three federal judges said Friday in overturning a new federal law. In a 195-page decision, the judges said the Children's Internet Protection Act went too far because the filters can also blocked access to sites that contain protected speech."
