communications decency act
(foldoc) | Communications Decency Act
(CDA) An amendment to the U.S. 1996 Telecommunications
Bill that went into effect on 1996-02-08. The law, originally
proposed by Senator James Exon to protect children from
obscenity on the Internet, ended up making it punishable by
fines of up to $250,000 to post indecent language on the
Internet anywhere that a minor could read it.
Thousands of outraged Internet users turned their {web
pages} black in protest or displayed the {Electronic Frontier
Foundation}'s special icons.
On 1996-06-12, a three-judge panel in Philadelphia ruled the
CDA unconstitutional and issued an injunction against the
United States Justice Department forbidding them to enforce
the "indecency" provisions of the law. Internet users
celebrated by displaying an animated "Free Speech" fireworks
icon to their web pages, courtesy of the {Voters
Telecommunications Watch}. The Justice Department appealed
the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

INDECENCY
(bouvier) | INDECENCY. An act against good behaviour and a just delicacy. 2 Serg. & R.
91.
2. The law, in general, will repress indecency as being contrary to
good morals, but, when the public good requires it, the mere indecency of
disclosures does not suffice to exclude them from being given in evidence. 3
Bouv. Inst. n. 3216.
3. The following are examples of indecency: the exposure by a man of
his naked person on a balcony, to public view, or bathing in public; 2
Campb. 89; or the exhibition of bawdy pictures. 2 Chit. Cr. Law, 42; 2 Serg.
& Rawle, 91. This indecency is punishable by indictment. Vide 1 Sid. 168; S.
C. 1 Keb. 620; 2 Yerg. R. 482, 589; 1 Mass. Rep. 8; 2 Chan. Cas. 110; 1
