Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) Ruling

The "Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) Ruling" is a legal document by Chief Circuit Judge Becker and others, made in the Twenty-First Century, that examines whether the Children's Internet Protection Act goes against the Constitution. It looks closely at how requiring public libraries to use internet filters to get federal money affects people's First Amendment rights, especially when filters block access to things they should be able to see. The ruling starts by explaining the laws behind CIPA and the complaints against it, which includes librarians, about software blocking important information; It shows the filters can keep people from seeing protected material, and brings up issues about freedom of speech.
