There's an op-ed in LI Newsday by Cathleen A. Cleaver ("directory of legal studies at the Family Research Council..." in LI Newsday today.
Serious pro-CDA spin here. Justifies the bust of Amateur Action BBS, ignoring that they were set up by the gov't, and then insists the CDA only prohibits making porn accessible to kids. Calls anti-CDA folx "free-speech zealots" and "friends of the porn industry", claims the courts can determine merit on a per-case basis, and claims objections to CDA are really from "arrogance and greed... Most Americans do not have access to the Internet. The on-line elite would like to keep it that way..."
No surprises here. Except for the "on-line elite" shot in the dark, the anti-sex censors have been talking this way for decades. What's interesting is that your report of this spokesperson's tone makes it sound *defensive* -- like a reaction to an onslaught rather than a celebration of victory. The battle for people's hearts and minds on this issue is far from over. ObMetzgerQ: What the hell does this have to do with cryptography? ObMetzgerA: Nothing! So there!
