CDA: It's baacckk

The US Governement couldn't leave well enough alone. Not content in seeing CDA blown to bits by the Constitution, Dan Coats (R-Indiania) has tacked on to an Appropriations Bill what is basically CDA II. More details below.

Essentially, this amendment prohibits "commercial" Web sites from allowing underage surfers to view adult-oriented material deemed "harmful to minors." It would apply to any communication, image, or writing that contains nudity, actual or simulated sex, or "lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific" value. If someone is found guilty of violating this, they could be fined up to $50,000 and imprisoned for six months.
