[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 120358, member: 35"] rajneesh ji Have been pondering your question for some time. Here is the most recent information I could find about it. One example of a state law is not enforced for three reasons. It (1) is vague and therefore cannot really hit hard at the places on the net where most obscenity occurs, for example chat rooms. (2) it would apply equally to adults as to children and therefore has a lot of opposition. (3) It would regulate the Internet and not achieve its purpose which is to regulate obscenity. Therefore the US government is unlikely to act forcefully -- as they would be struck down under the federal laws and US Constitution. Article follows. It is not much I know. I will keep investigating this. :) -------------------------- [URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/hard-talk/29194-should-supreme-court-form-obscenity-rules.html[/URL] [B]Group: Online obscenity law too vague[/B] By James Nash THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Publication: The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio) Date: [URL="http://www.allbusiness.com/lexisnexis/20091021/13234091-1.html"] Wednesday, October 21 2009[/URL] A state law designed to protect children from "obscene or harmful" material on the Internet is vague enough that it tramples on the rights of adults to view the same content, a trade group of booksellers argued to the Ohio Supreme Court yesterday.
