The Communications Decency Act (CDA), passed in 1996, aimed to regulate and restrict indecent and obscene material on the internet, particularly to protect minors from harmful content. However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1997 in Reno v. ACLU that the CDA's provisions violated the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech, as they were overly broad and infringed on adults' rights to access lawful content. The ruling established a precedent for protecting online expression and set limits on governmental regulation of the internet.
