It's
10 years since the US Supreme Court made its historic decision that the Internet deserves full First Amendment protection, striking down sections of the Communications Decency Act as unconstitutional:
"In Sable (a case establishing that indecent sexual speech is legal for adults), we remarked that the speech restriction at issue there amounted to 'burn(ing) the house to roast the pig,'" [Justice] Stevens wrote. "The CDA, casting a far darker shadow over free speech, threatens to torch a large segment of the internet community."
