As more people go online, more people become aware of some of the long-standing problems of cyberspace. In recent years, some Internet users have become increasingly vocal in calling upon Washington to regulate the Net; others have been equally vocal in demanding that the government maintain its hands-off stance. Among the problems lawmakers have tried to address are children's ability to access inappropriate materials, the potential for companies to collect and distribute individuals' personal information, cryptological technology that could make e-commerce more secure but could also be used for criminal or terrorist purposes, and the widespread use of unsolicited commercial e-mail. �Introduction �Protecting Children Online �Legislating Decency: COPA and CDA �Exploring the Alternatives �Protecting Personal Privacy �Some See Serious Threats... �...While Others Are More Serene �Encryption �Cutting Spam �Resources �Your Chance to Weigh In!-- Join our interactive bulletin board. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A<>E<>R The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
