The Dot Kids Implementation and Efficiency Act

UPDATE: President Bush signed this into law on December 4, 2002.  More info. . . .

In light of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that the Children's Internet and Privacy Act (CIPA) is unconstitutional to public libraries (but not school libraries), this new legislation would establish a new domain name called kids.us. Unlike the CIPA, which included the use of web content filters to eliminate inappropriate content (sometimes good and sometimes bad), the new domain would be inclusive so that libraries could tap into this information for relative content for children. The main drawbacks seem to focus on whether this is also a violation of the First Amendment and whether there is enough content to supply the demand?
