3rd Circuit Strikes Down COPA — Again
The Child Online Protection Act suffers from a slew of fatal flaws that render the law unconstitutional under the First Amendment, the 3rd Circuit ruled on Tuesday. The court found that numerous terms in COPA were not “narrowly tailored” and that the law therefore failed a strict scrutiny test. The decision comes after nearly a decade of litigation — including two trips to the U.S. Supreme Court — and marks the sixth time that a court has blocked the law from going into effect.
