• W229937363 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION Restricting [indecent] criminal material on the Internet should be a matter of common sense in any country that values its children more than it values the rights of consumers addicted to what degrades and dehumanizes.(1) This quote describes the recent debate concerning the right to free speech and the need to regulate indecency on the Internet. Some individuals are concerned as to why [i]t is a crime to sell (minors) [indecent] magazines, but it is not a crime for them to find this stuff on the Internet.(2) Recently, our judicial system faced the challenge of addressing and solving this issue. In a recent case, Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union,(3) the United States Supreme Court struck down sections of a statute which attempted to protect minors from indecent and patently offensive material displayed on the Internet.(4) Although the Court properly declared those sections of the statute unconstitutional, the Court's analysis leading to its conclusion was partially erroneous.(5) As with all new media, the Court adopted a medium-specific approach in analyzing the new form of communication. However, the Court failed to perceive the vastness of the Internet, and, as a result, misclassified the medium and applied an improper standard of review.(6) The purpose of this Note is to demonstrate, by analyzing the Reno case, that stricter regulation of the Internet is necessary. Parts II and III provide a background regarding free speech and the First Amendment. Part IV discusses the judicial doctrines which are traditionally applied in free speech analysis under the First Amendment, and Part V explains the modifications imposed where a new medium of communication is being examined under free speech analysis. Parts VI and VII provide a background on the Internet and the Communications Decency Act of 1996,(7) and a summary of the Reno case, respectively. Part VIII analyzes the Supreme Court's medium-specific analysis, and Part IX explains why the Court's final decision was proper. Finally, Part X emphasizes why regulating the Internet is necessary to benefit American society now and into the future. II. THE HISTORY OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND FREE SPEECH [T]he matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom,(8) is how Justice Cardozo characterized freedom of speech.(9) The idea that speech, regardless of its content, was protected, evolved through the authoritarian nature of ... societies following the Middle Ages.(10) Pursuant to this idea, the English government attempted to permit the exercise of free speech, but that government's version of free speech was qualified compared with what we know as free speech today.(11) The English government believed that popular support of the government was equally, if not more valuable than the right of free speech and therefore limited the people's right of free speech.(12) The government admitted that popular support was essential to its survival, concluding that if it maintained a positive image, then people would continue to support it.(13) As a result, those who criticized the English government were punished.(14) Publication of a critical opinion was considered a criminal assault regardless of whether the statements were held true. Truth was not a defense, for `the greater the truth, the greater the libel' against the government.(15) Similar practices occurred in America during the early 1700s.(16) However, many people valued the liberty to speak freely and critically, and at the time the Constitution was being drafted, Justice Blackstone explained that every free man had a right to express his opinions before the public; to prohibit such expression would destroy the freedom of speech and the nature of a free state.(17) In 1791, with the adoption of the Bill of Rights, came the enactment of the First Amendment, which now governs freedom of speech in the United States.(18) III. …" @default.
