Links: New Laws, New Questions About Pornography Online

Civil Liberties
Isenberg writes "A new and little-noticed law, the PROTECT Act, includes two important restrictions on online pornography. But, the law raises questions about whether it complies with the First Amendment. In a new column on GigaLaw.com, I discuss the PROTECT Act's provisions on domain names and so-called "virtual" child porn while noting the free-speech issues they create."

They want you to call it the PROTECT act. But don't give in. Shorten the acts name to the Exploitation Act.
