I think it would be good to include something about the ongoing challenge to the CDA by Barbara Nitke and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. More information about it can be found at http://www.barbaranitke.com/aboutlawsuit.html and http://www.sethf.com/nitke/cda-trial.php.

Thanks. I've clarified a portion of the article and mentioned that case. Jamesday 20:36, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Split off Section 230 stuff?

Given the controversy surrounding this provision of the law; it is conceiveable that this section will dwarf the rest of the article. Thoughs? --EngineerScotty 22:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I concur that it should be kept on Wikipedia but edited for clarity and split off into a separate article. It is important as indicated by the frequent media coverage and the huge number of articles in all English-language law reviews on this issue. --Coolcaesar 06:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good. I doubt the current influx in attention will fade away any time soon. Ambyr 02:42, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Split done. --EngineerScotty 03:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I came here looking for information about the "good samaritan" provision and didn't find a reference to those words on this page. I read section 230 of the Act and added a short paragraph under the new Section 230 header describing the good samaritan provision (s. 230(c)), so that future readers will find the words "good samaritan" referenced here. -- Kaplanmyrth 14:29, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Abortion

Anyone want to add anything to the article about the section which made it illegal to provide abrotion information over the Internet (which the administration later admitted was unconstitutional and said it wouldn't enforce)? I'm not sure I have enough knowledge to write it myself. Ken Arromdee 16:47, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes this is an important issue, especially for european WP visitors. It should be described. 195.70.48.242 12:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
