COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8 (UPI) -- The FBI, acting on a complaint from
a
Christian morals watchdog group, Wednesday sought to determine whether CompuServe Inc. has violated a new law against indecency. FBI agents said they were attempting to determine whether CompuServe's Entertainment Drive, which contains some adult material, violates the Communications Decency Act. The law prohibits offering pornography to on-line users, especially minors.
Reuters, however, just moved a story saying the FBI and Dept. of Justice denied there was *any* investigation ongoing. The agencies were responding to the original stroy which ran in the Columbus Dispatch, Such denials are *extremely* rare; agenices almost always refuse to confirm or deny investigations. Those of you with access to AOL can check the story out in technology news.
