Federal judge blocks child online protection act injunction issued
A federal judge extended a preliminary injunction stopping the Child Online Protection Act six hours before its prior order expired. The ruling shields Web site operators from prosecution, citing potential First Amendment issues while allowing a full merits trial. The ACLU represents 17 clients claiming the law harms speech and targets minors online. The measure would require age verification on commercial sites with penalties up to six months in jail and 150000 dollars per day in fines. The DOJ plans to review the decision.
