Good news from the ACLU:
(1) On Monday, 2/26, the Court received and filed the written
stipulation from the government that they will not initiate
investigations or begin prosecutions under either the "patently
offensive" or the "indecency" provisions of the CDA. This
applies to the plaintiffs *and* all Internet users. (The
written stipulation is available on the ACLU web site at
http://www.aclu.org)
(2) In addition, on Tuesday, 2/27, the Court formally
consolidated the second lawsuit challenging the CDA, _ALA v.
DOJ_, with the _ACLU v. Reno_ case.
Both of these developments are great news, and are substantive steps
toward re-affirming First Amendment rights on the Net.
