Federal Court Once Again Upholds Ban On Unconstitutional Internet Censorship Law

7/22/08
In this article, it talks about how COPA got thrown out of the US Courts again for violating the 1st and 5th amendment. The article says that for years that the government has been trying to censor the internet but it has no right too. Since the US courts shot COPA down, it goes back to the district courts to decide where it goes again. Other website owners say that COPA is overbroad and vague, and that there are other alterntatives to solving children monitoring.

I think that this is good that COPA got shot down and that it is a violation of the 1st and 5th amendment. I also believe that there are other approaches to this problem of child monitoring on the web besides COPA.
