NY Senate Bill 210E: Chilling Speech on Emerging Computer Networks

Memo in Opposition to NY S.B. 210E

On July 16, 1996, Media Coalition wrote to New York Governor George Pataki to request his veto of Senate Bill 210E. SB 210E would have extended the state's harmful to minors law to computer networks. The memo explains that the bill was unconstitutional and would not have accomplished legislators' goal of protecting minors.
