CDT POLICY POST Volume 11, Number 7, March 22, 2005 (OK So I'm late!)
A BRIEFING ON PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES AFFECTING CIVIL LIBERTIES ONLINE from THE CENTER FOR DEMOCRACY AND TECHNOLOGY
(1) Utah Enacts Internet Blocking Law Similar to Pennsylvania Law Overturned in 2004
(2) Vast Numbers of Innocent Sites Likely to Be Censored
(3) Court Challenge to Utah Law Likely
On Monday, March 21, 2005, the Governor of Utah signed into law House Bill 260, passed by the Utah legislature early in March in the face of strong criticism of the bill as unconstitutional. The Center for Democracy & Technology had written to legislative leaders and Governor Jon Huntsman warning that the legislation was unconstitutional and unwise because it would likely reduce the Internet access choices available to Utah citizens. CDT predicted that the law was likely to be overturned in a court challenge.
