You may have recently heard about the USA Communications Decency Act,
currently proposed legislation in the US Senate (s.314) and in the
House of Representatives (H.R.1004).  The Bills seek to impose some
kind of order on all telecommunications carriers, including the
Internet, Usenet, and BBS systems, as well as voice telephone and cable
television, by limiting the use / transfer of material considered to be
"obscene", "lewd", "lascivious", "filthy", "indecent", or
"harrassing".
 
[International note: even though this is an American bill, this notice is
being posted worldwide because of the effect it could have on Usenet
worldwide.  Reduced connectivity and fewer newsgroups in the USA affects
everyone.  Non-US petition responses will be counted separately.  - MRH]
 
The Bill was introduced in the Senate by Sen. James Exon (D-NE) on Feb. 2,
1995, and more recently in the House (Feb. 21, 1995) by Representative
Timothy Johnson (D-SD).
 
As it is currently written, many consider the Bill to be unacceptable.
Not only can the authors of *offensive* material be held liable but
service providers, on whose systems such information appears can also
be held liable.  As far as I know there is no distinction between
public postings and *private e-mail* (i.e. service providers will
effectively be forced to inspect personal e-mail for potentially
offensive material.)
 
Many argue that the cost and logistics of the above points will shutdown
many service providers.
 
WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE?
 
The National Home Page for the Communications Decency Act may be reached at:
 
                http://www.phantom.com/~slowdog
 
The page contains the text of the bills, analysis, recent news articles
concerning s.314 and h.r.1004 (latest AP release March 6), contact
information for your representatives in D.C., information regarding an
e-mail petition to stop the bill, and more.
 
The text of the legislation may also be obtained from:
 
        ftp.eff.org, /pub/EFF/Legislation/Bills_new/s314.bill
        gopher.eff.org, 1/EFF/Legislation/Bills_new, s314.bill
        http://www.eff.org/pub/EFF/Legislation/Bills_new/s314.bill
 
Usenet discussion of the bill is in newsgroup comp.org.eff.talk.
 
WHAT CAN I DO?
 
There is an electronic mail petition.  However, before sending in your
electronic signature, I strongly urge you to familiarize yourself with
the wording of the petition (see National Home Page above).
 
Petition:  Send a mail message to:  s314-petition@netcom.com
