The Communications Decency Act aimed to regulate online content to protect minors, but it was struck down by the Supreme Court. Subsequent acts like the Child Online Protection Act were developed to address online safety for children.
The purpose of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) passed in 1996 was to make it a federal crime to knowingly transmit or post obscene, indecent, or offensive content to minors on the internet. However, in Reno v. ACLU (1997), the Supreme Court struck down the CDA, stating that it would limit the internet to content suitable for children. This led to the development of subsequent legislation like the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) of 1998, aiming to protect minors from harmful online content.
