Supreme Court Leaves Porn Alone
A long legal drive to censor sexually explicit material on the Web ended in failure Wednesday when the Supreme Court let a 10-year-old anti-pornography law die quietly.
In striking down the law on free-speech grounds, the justices said parents could protect their children by installing software filters on their computers.
In a 5-4 decision, the justices sent the case back to a lower court in Philadelphia to decide if software filters were effective in screening out sexually explicit material.
