Court Gives COPA Another Setback

A federal appeals court struck down the latest iteration of the Child Online Protection Act by upholding a previous finding that saw it as unconstitutional, reports the New York Times. I think this makes it three times that some version of this decade-old law has been defeated in court. The bill was worrisome to many because of its loose to non-existent definition of adult content combined with required restrictions for allowing people access to sites with such material that could have been a needless economic hardship and even a legal minefield for a lot of sites, including those with comics.
