Abstract
“The Internet is a revolutionary advance in information technology. It also provides a revolutionary means for displaying patently offensive, sexually explicit material to children in the privacy of their homes.” Not my words, but those of the counsel for the US Attorney General in Reno v ACLU. But is this true, even in part? Certainly there is ‘unsuitable’ or ‘undesirable’ material out there in terrestrial life — and the Internet is no different. However, there are some 50 million plus pages of information on the World Wide Web and most does not fall within these categories. This article explores the issues raised by the above quotation.
