Summary: communications decency act affects net quality of life
Keywords: s.652 s.314 exon leahy communications decency act censorship
Pardon the crossposting; I think the information is relevant for the readers
of these groups.
The attached text is about the Communications Decency Act, a measure
currently before Congress as part of the Telecommunications Reform Bill
(S.652). The CDA would make illegal "obscene, lewd, lascivious..." (I forget
the others) material in communications on computer networks and other new
electronic media. Both the originators (you and I), and the service providers,
in certain cases, would be subject to prosecution for each violation, and for
each day a system or service is in violation. The CDA's purported motivation
is to protect children from pornography; however, the extent of its
restrictions has been deemed unconstitutional (it would make profanity in
private email a violation for example), and some say that it is an attempt to
legislate morality. The current interpretation is that any service provider
who in any way monitors the content of his databases and transmissions would be
liable for any material in violation of the act. The toll in terms of costs
to service providers for monitoring & legal protection, and to users in terms
of constraints on freedom of expression, is expected to be severe. The
CDA (or rather its authors) is ignorant of the opportunities that normal net
access methods provide for blocking children's access to inappropriate
material, and the differences between networks and older, broadcast
technology.
The CDA is currently before the Senate as Title IV of the Telecommunications
Reform Bill (s.652).
It will probably be debated _this week_, so the time to act is short !
(The date information below has apparently changed.)
The below text describes an electronic petition which will be delivered to the
Senate urging that the CDA be amended out of S.652 and be replaced with S.714,
an initiative by Sen. Leahy to establish a study of the adequacy of existing
legislation for policing net content, the appropriate forms of legislation for
the new media given their unique nature, and to propose any new legislation
necessary to fulfill the need for genuinely appropriate content control.
Apparently, a new alternative to the CDA which is even more restrictive has
just been proposed as a freestanding bill by Sen. Dole, so it is even more
vital that the Leahy initiative receive mass support.
If you've read this far, thank you. The readership of these groups are the
technical audience whom net quality-of-life issues affect most directly and
most deeply. This _is_ a quality-of-life issue. These are the first shots
in the dark in government attempts at regulating the networks. The net
will be regulated, but the CDA is at the very least an ill-informed piece of
legislation whose legality is extremely doubtful and whose motivations are
at best unclear. Senator Leahy's initiative is a much more desirable
alternative; it is measured and concerned for the uniquenesses and potential
of the new media - one might say he is our first friend in government.
If any of this interests you, and it should, please read the below, and sign
the petition if you feel so inclined. For more information about this issue
see below for URL's, postings and such. This issue affects us in our pockets,
in terms of how much we pay for net services, in our heads, in terms of what
self-censorship we need to engage in as we use the net and whether we may
communicate freely over it or not, and culturally, in terms of the quality and
vitality of the electronic community. People who are ignorant of and/or
ill-intentioned towards the nets are starting to try to exercise control over
them; we are the audience that is most affected, and also most capable of
raising a voice that will be heard to determine what controls will be put in
place. And if I've got you interested, consider calling your Senators, _now_ -
a list of their office phone numbers is at the end of the post.
I'm not affiliated with the EFF or any of the other organizations involved in
this issue, just interested and concerned.

[Note: if you've already signed the petition, please do not do so again.
Simply take a moment and forward this to friends that might be interested
in seeing free speech continue in online systems.
The petition has garnered over 20,000 signatures thus far. This is
extremely impressive, petitions to support legislation such as the
Leahy bill are much harder to assemble. If you signed it, great
work! If you did not, please take a moment and do so. It could be
the difference between success and failure. *And* it's easy.
Note that the petition really needs a boost this week. The Telecomm
Reform bill will hit the Senate floor (with the Exon language in it)
either at the end of this week, or the beginning of next week. Leahy
will need to have the most weighty petition possible to be able to
persuade Exon and the rest of the Senate to adopt his alternative
bill.
Take a moment now and sign up yourself and forward this message onto
others who care about free speech for online systems.
If you're not a US citizen, please sign as well. We will be extracting
them and reporting them as well. This is an issue that affects everyone.
The petition alert is attached below.

THE TIME IS NOW
HELP SENATOR LEAHY STOP THE EXON COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT
The Senate is expected to on vote the Communications Decency Act (CDA,
a.k.a. the Exon Bill) within the next two weeks.
The Communications Decency Act, in its current form, would severely
restrict your rights to freedom of speech and freedom of expression
online, and represents a grave threat to the very nature and existence
of the Internet as we know it today. Without your help now, the
Communications Decency Act will likely pass and the net may never be
the same again.
Although the CDA has been revised to limit the liability of online
service providers, it would still criminalize the transmission of any
content deemed "obscene, lewd, lacivious, filthy, or indecent,"
including the private communications between consenting adults. Even
worse, some conservative pro-censorship groups are working to amend the
CDA to make it even more restrictive.
Currently, Senator Exon is negotiating with pro-censorship groups and
commercial entities that would be affected by the CDA. The voices of
Internet users must be heard now. We need to demonstrate that we are a
political force to be reckoned with.
In an effort to preserve your rights in cyberspace, Senator Patrick
Leahy (D-VT) has introduced the only legislative alternative to the
Communications Decency Act. Senator Leahy is willing to offer his bill
as a substitute for the CDA, but needs your support behind his
efforts.
Senator Leahy's legislation would commission a study to examine the
complex issues involved in protecting children from controversial
content while preserving the First Amendment, the privacy rights of
users, and the free flow of information in cyberspace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANOTHER PETITION?
Yes. With a strong showing of support from the net.community, Senator
Leahy can offer his bill as a substitute for the Communications Decency
Act when the Senate votes on the issue later this month. Senator Leahy
needs and wants to demonstrate to his colleagues in the Senate that the
net.community is behind him in his efforts. We must rise to the task
and demonstrate that we will not sit idly by as our rights are
threatened.
Senator Leahy, a strong civil liberties advocate, has been the Senate's
most vocal critic of the Exon/Gorton Communications Decency Act, and
has taken a leading role in defending the rights and civil liberties of
Internet users. Senator Leahy has taken a great political risk in
representing the interests of Internet users on Capitol Hill. The time
has come for us to show our appreciation and our support for his
efforts.
The previous petition against the Communications Decency Act generated
over 108,000 signatures, and was instrumental in Senator Leahy's
decision to offer his alternative As the Senate moves to vote on the
CDA, we must act quickly to ensure that our collective voice continues
to be heard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS LEAHY PROPOSING?
Senator Leahy's bill, S. 714, would direct the Department of Justice
and the Department of Commerce to commence a 5 month study to examine:
* Current law enforcement authority to prosecute the distribution of
pornography over computer networks;
* Whether any additional law or law enforcement resources are necessary;
* The availability of technological capabilities, consistent with the
First Amendment and the free flow of information in Cyberspace, to
protect children from accessing controversial commercial and non-
commercial content;
* Ways to promote the development and deployment of such technologies.
After conducting the study, the Justice Department must report to Congress
on its findings, and, if necessary, recommend changes in current law.
Leahy's bill represents the only substantive legislative alternative to the
Communications Decency Act, and will buy important time to have a detailed
and rational discussion about the issues involved in protecting children
from controversial content, and avoid the rush to censorship which is
occurring now on the Senate Floor.
Without a strong show of support for Leahy's bill, the Communications
Decency Act is very likely to pass.

THE PETITION STATEMENT
We the undersigned users of the Internet are strongly opposed to the
"Communications Decency Act" (Title IV of S. 652), which is currently
pending before the Senate. This legislation will severely restrict our
rights to freedom of speech and privacy guaranteed under the
constitution.
Based on our Nation's longstanding history of protecting freedom of
speech, we believe that the Federal Government should have no role in
regulating the content of constitutionally protected speech on the
Internet.
We urge the Senate to halt consideration of the Communications Decency
Act and consider in its place S. 714, the "Child Protection, User
Empowerment, and Free Expression In Interactive Media Study Bill", an
alternative approach offered by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PETITION RATIONALE
We oppose the "Communications Decency Act", sponsored by Senators James
Exon (D-NE) and Slade Gorton (R-WA), for the following reasons:
* It criminalizes the transmission of constitutionally protected speech,
including the private communications between consenting individuals;
* It would violate privacy rights by protecting system administrators
who take steps to ensure that their networks are not being used to
transmit prohibited content, even if those steps include reading all
messages, in violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act
(ECPA).
* It fails to account for the unique characteristics of interactive
media, including the tremendous control users have over the content
they or their children receive.
* It would give the Federal Communications Commission jurisdiction over
online speech by giving the FCC authority to establish rules
governing the distribution of content online;
The Internet and other interactive communications technologies offer a
unique opportunity for the free exchange of information and ideas, and
embody the very essence of our nation's democratic traditions of
openness, diversity and freedom of speech.
As users of these technologies, we know perhaps better than anyone that
there are other, less restrictive ways to protect children from
controversial materials while preserving the First Amendment and the
free flow of information.
Senator Leahy's bill provides an opportunity to address the issues
raised by the Communications Decency Act without restricting the free
speech and privacy rights of users.
