The Future of the Internet?
By Ed Schaefer eds@theriver.com .
As a computer consultant and programmer I am very interested in
the future of the Internet. On February 8th that future became
shrouded in doubt. The passage and signing of the
Telecommunications Act with the addition of the so-called
Computer Decency Act marks a black page in the history of the
Internet and this country.
Now that the politicians have failed to live up to the
Constitution our best hope lies with the courts. Let us hope that
the judges that hear the challenges to the CDA see it for what it
really is: political expediency at its worst!
In the meantime, talk about the CDA to anyone who will listen.
The future of the Internet as well as the future of freedom
depend on it!
"I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I shall not live my
life for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for
the sake of mine."
(Ayn Rand)
