answer preview
With easy access to materials considered indecent, child pornography and unsafe for minors over the internet, there was a need to shield children under 17 years from getting access to these sexually explicit materials. A lot of efforts were made to solve the problem, but these efforts failed because the laws were restricting too much access by adults. A different act, the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), was developed. It was different from previous actions in some elements, and it operated on a tougher condition for schools and libraries with Internet access.
Historical Background of the Law
The law was enacted on December 2000 to regulate access to Internet materials via schools and public libraries with computers connected to the internet (The United States, 2001). The condition for the law affected both schools and public libraries with an internet connection, and that receive discounts for computer networking, internet connections, and telephone service through the E-rate program. It required that the schools and libraries follow and regulate children’s access to harmful or obscene pictures, graphic images or other visual depiction over the internet.
Representative Bob Franks and other cosponsors introduced a bill that would require schools receiving E-rate funding which subsidizes Internet access, computer networking and telecommunication services, to use software technology to protect minors from internet pornography. Schools and libraries which did not meet this requirement are not eligible to receive the e-rate sponsorship. On June 1999 the House adopted the amendment by voice for the use of the filtering software during internet access by minors. No action was taken then.
