High court agrees to
revisit net porn law

Washington -- The Supreme Court agreed today to revisit the thorny question of how to protect children from online smut without resorting to unconstitutional censorship.

Ashcroft v. ACLU II asks whether, in the name of children, Congress wants to restrict too much material that adults have the right to see or buy. On a more practical level, the Court is to decide whether the government can require some form of an adults-only screening system to ensure children cannot see material deemed harmful to them.

This is the second time in two years that the high court has reviewed an Internet pornography law passed by Congress in 1998 but never enforced.

The American Civil Liberties Union, representing booksellers, artists, explicit Web sites and others, challenged the Child Online Protection Act as an unconstitutional damper on free speech.

The Bush administration appealed to the high court, arguing that children are "unprotected from the harmful effects of the enormous amount of pornography on the World Wide Web."

The law, known by the acronym COPA, is a reasonable solution to the proliferation of online pornography, Solicitor General Theodore Olson said in filings to the Court. The law targets commercial pornographers, he said.

The ACLU said in its briefs that the law could make criminals of many people who use the Internet for legitimate, often health-related reasons. Those who operate Web sites about gynecology and safe sex could be implicated, as could Mitch Tepper, who posts explicit how-to sexual advice for disabled people, the ACLU claimed.

Olson said the main target is commercial pornographers who use sexually explicit "teasers" to lure customers. The free teasers are available to nearly anyone surfing the Internet, children and adults alike. The pictures sometimes appear even when computer users are not seeking out pornography. The teasers typically lead potential customers to a Web site that may require payment and age verification.
