Description

A lively, not to say rambunctious, follow-up. MK: "A local prosecutor in

Germany decided he wanted to regulate the Internet. All he cared about was ... Munich.

But the reality was, the only way that CompuServe could address his concerns and obey

the law that he was laying down was to apply that law to the whole world." ... CC:

"People that are opposing the Communications Decency Act are advocating a really big

philosophical shift in the law. Usually our society has embraced laws that make people

responsible who are emitting harmful material, whether it is obscenity or it is toxic waste,

not require parents ... to buy filters to protect their homes from toxic waste." ... SE:

"Arianna asks why the government shouldn't [regulate the Internet]. It's a very simple,

short, clear little answer, and it's called the First Amendment."
