Title 47, Communications Decency Act (Section 230)

  • Part (c)(2)(a) seems to allow "interactive computer service providers" to block any content, regardless of whether it is constitutionally protected. Part (d) states that the provider must further inform users about options to filter on their own. Why not the converse? Shouldn't the ICSP have an obligation to tell its users that certain content is being blocked? Cjohnson 09:12, 4 January 2008 (EST)
