Which of the following laws was upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court?

A. Child Internet Protection Act
B. Communications Decency Act
C. Child Online Protection Act

Answer :

The Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, unlike the Communications Decency Act and Child Online Protection Act which were not.Therefore the correct answer is A

Among the options provided, the law that was upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court is the Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA). The Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 was struck down by the Supreme Court in Reno v. ACLU (1997) because the law would impose censorship on Internet content to only what is suitable for children, limiting freedom of speech. The Child Online Protection Act (COPA) of 1998 faced a similar fate as it was continuously challenged in court and eventually died when the Supreme Court declined to review another appeal in 2009.
