Internet Censorship / Shoot the Messenger : A 6 page
essay comparing two articles on the topic of Internet
censorship. The Communications Decency Act, as part of
the Telecommunications Act of 1996, was signed into law in
February, 1996. One of these articles was published in April,

year, a panel of Federal judges blocked the law by labeling it
unconstitutional, a move that will likely be in appeal for some
time to come. Bibliography includes two sources, the full text
