Answer 1

No, because print publishers and Internet service providers are treated differently under the Communications Decency Act.

The Communications Decency Act's purpose is what?

The Communications Decency Act of 1995 amends the Communications Act of 1934 to forbid the use of any telecommunications device (now only the telephone) to irritate, abuse, threaten, or harass any recipient of such message.

Any person who sent "obscene or indecent" messages to a receiver under the age of 18 was in violation of the CDA. Additionally, it forbade the "knowing" exhibition of "patently objectionable" materials in a way that was "accessible" to individuals under the age of 18

The Communications Decency Act was unconstitutional for what reasons?

The federal Communications Decency Act (CDA) is an unlawful restraint on free speech, the Supreme Court declared in Reno v. ACLU in 1997. The precedent-setting decision confirmed the risks of banning what one judge referred to as "the most participative form of mass expression ever conceived."
