Score One for Free Speech

Eliminating "Pornography on the Web" has been an issue for politicians; an issue for the vocal minority but certainly not for those that spend Billions on-line in sex related websites.

The 1998 Child Online Protection Act (COPA) is Congress' second attempt to limit internet content. COPA has never been fully enacted and it feel off the the radar for most - that is until last year. Fortunately for all us, the most recent attempt to censor internet content was squashed but there is still reason to be concerned.
