Abstract

The battle to protect minors from sexually explicit material and content that is harmful to them provides new legal obstacles within cyberspace. Within the issue of Internet regulation, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s Reno concurrence provides a legal justification for “adult zoning,” but eliminate the restrictions upon adult freedoms. The following paper provides historical background on the battle to restrict access to sexually explicit material on the Internet and provides a case why green light areas in second tier domains provide lawmakers and society with a constitutionally sound method of prevention.
