Online Obscenity And The Internet Bubble
Lawmakers were away from Washington this week, but the nine justices of the Supreme Court were still here to play -- and they had a thing or two to say about technology. The court reached two decisions of interest to the tech community.
The first ruling concerned a 1996 online obscenity law, with the high court rebuffing a challenge to the statute. The second ruling, which was initiated after the Internet stock bubble burst, curtailed investors' ability to launch large class-action lawsuits.
Also in the news this week: data security, content neutrality over high-speed Internet networks and video-franchising rules in New Jersey. For the details on those stories and more, listen to the podcast.
