Internet Pornography

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the opinion of the Supreme Court that the internet is a protected area, and the difficulty involved in creating legislation to protect children from viewing pornography without violating people's constitutional right to free speech. It also explores the issue of whether just parents or also the government should bear responsibility for protecting children from the dangers of internet pornography.

From the Paper:

"The Supreme Court seems to be in favor of this opinion, saying that, while Internet Pornography should not be banned, it should be regulated to help keep children from accessing it accidentally while looking for something else. This is one of the biggest fears of lawmakers, because there are quite a few angry parents out there whose children have seen something obscene on the Internet unintentionally (Walsh, 2001). Ironically, many of these parents don't want to give up the right to view this kind of material on their own, but they want to make sure that their children can't see it. This is extremely difficult, and in some cases almost impossible, to do."
