Paper Summary:

This paper examines the formulation of the Communications Decency Act and identifies policy windows, policy entrepreneurs, and systematic agenda influences that contributed to the process. The paper examines how the systems, pluralist, rational-comprehensive, and elitist models of public policy formulation can be applied to the policy.

From the Paper:

"The 1990s saw the development of the Internet, a communications breakthrough that brought government regulation into an uncharted new territory. Suddenly, Congress had to deal with an issue that previously didn't exist: the exposure of children to online pornography. Congress's answer to this problem was The Communications Decency Act, a federal regulatory policy intended to protect children from "indecent" and "patently offensive" material on the Internet."
