"Raising the case to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals might be a risky venture for the government, according to legal experts, because the court has traditionally been favorable to Internet free speech rights.

Twice, the appellate court ruled that the Child Online Protect Act was unconstitutional, fire finding that its use of ?community standards to judge Internet content would ?subject Internet providers in even the most tolerant communities to the decency standards of the most puritanical,? and then finding that the law was too broad to avoid infringing on free speech rights.
excellent.
