47 USC 230 is still the law of the land; it's the provision of the CDA  
that
remained after the rest went away as unconstitutional. Given its  
protections
for service providers seeking to prevent "objectionable" content  
(which has
been interpreted by some courts to include spam, at least in some
situations), it's a fairly broad set of protections. {ProfJonathan}

IANAL.  I do remember that part of the '96 Telecom Law dealing w/  
restricting
access
to obscene material was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

Do any of the lawyers on the list know if Section 230 is the part of the
act found unconstitutional?  And if so does that imply that Stratton  
Oakmont
v. Prodigy is still valid precendent.
