Just got this. Maybe there is some common-sense surfacing. COMPROMISE ON CYBERPORN LEGISLATION The fears of online service providers and civil liberties advocates that new federal telecommunications legislation would be too heavy-handed in its effort to keep "filthy," "lewd" and "indecent" material off of the network have been mitigated by compromise wording in the proposed legislation. The new language, offered by Washington State Republican congressman Rick White, restricts penalties of fine or imprisonment to persons who transmit material that is "harmful to children" (such as images of frontal nudity) rather than a more broadly worded target against making "indecent material" available to children. The compromise would give legal protection to online information and service providers who made good-faith efforts to keep restricted material away from children. (New York Times 2 Dec 95 A1)
