ACLU Issues With COPA Act
This
Proposal is an alternative solution to the the Child
Online Protection Act on
August 27, 1999 which was challenged and turned down IN
THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
(ACLU
vs. Reno I, CDA Case).
The
major issue by the ACLU’s challenge to The Child Online
Protection Act was the issue of the first amendment “freedom
of speech” and the probable impact and loss of business due to
the internet user being:
(1)
required
the use of a credit card, debit account, adult access code, or
adult personal identification number;
(2) accepting a digital certificate that verifies age; or
(3) any other reasonable measures feasible under available
technology.
This
proposal requires no monetary losses on either side except for a
simple implementation of a second Title Tag within the adult-content
sites and an edition to the browser upgrades within then
“internet options” or “tools”.
