The order was issued by Judge Stewart Dalzell, one of the three judges presiding over the case. CIEC and ACLU attorneys filed the compliant after several national newspapers reported last week that the FBI had opened an investigation of Compuserve for violations of the CDA. The FBI has since denied that any investigation is or was underway, though the stories sparked a great deal of confusion and created a significant public relations problem for the commercial online service. In the order Judge Dalzell stated that "the government's conduct in subjecting a content provider to private and public scrutiny for displaying material that is neither obscene nor child pornography clearly runs afoul of both this Court's orders and the government's promises." Closing arguments in the case concluded on Friday May 10, and a final decision on the constitutionality of the CDA is expected soon. While Wednesday's ruling by Judge Dalzell provides little insight into which way the court will rule on the constitutionality of the CDA, the speed with which the order was issued does show that the court appreciates the tremendous free speech and commercial concerns riding on this case. The full text of the seven page order, tramscripts from Friday's oral arguments, and with other relevant information, is available at the Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition web page: http://www.cdt.org/ciec BACKGROUND ON THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/AFA FOLLIES After a Philadelphia federal judge granted a temporary restraining order against the CDA in February, the government agreed not to prosecute or investigate anyone for violations of the CDA until the court challenge had been completed. However, recent events have called the government's commitment to the February agreement into question. In early April, the conservative American Family Association (AFA) filed a complaint with the Justice Department accusing Compuserve of violating the CDA for material in a forum called MacGlamour, despite the fact that the site was labeled for adults only and Compuserve provides its users free software to block access to unwanted material. Last week in response to pressure from the AFA, acting Chief of the DOJ Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section Terry Lord sent a letter to AFA director Patrick Truman indicating that the Department "has referred [the AFA] letter and accompanying materials to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for further review." The FBI denied it was investigating, which would have been a violation of the February court agreement, but said it was "reviewing" the AFA complaint. CIEC attorneys asked the court to clarify if such a "review" violated the government's promise not to investigate or prosecute under the CDA. In granting the motion for clarification, Judge Dalzell ordered Attorney General Reno, the Justice Department, and the FBI to stop all "reviews" of online indecency complaints pending a decision regarding the constitutionality of the Communications Decency Act. ---------------------------------------------------------------- (2) Hearing Transcripts for All 6 Days of Testimony Now Online Transcripts for all 6 days of hearings, including last Friday's (5/10) closing arguments, are now available online at the CIEC web site: http://www.cdt.org/ciec ----------------------------------------------------------------- (3) How to Unsubscribe From This List As CIEC members, you have been invited to join this list in order to receive news updates and other information relevant to the CIEC challenge to the Communications Decency Act.

Many thanks to all those who alerted me to the problem of the mysteriously truncated messages. Such are the perils of life in this technological age. In compensation -- and in the true spirit of open government -- I'm passing along some highlights of Judge Dalzell's order. It's a powerful document that is worth getting to know. After all, for the time being, this text is our only bulwark against the censor-happy thugs from the American Family Association and their eager accomplices at the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. ( ... Assuming, of course, that this message doesn't get truncated too.) Work the network! --Todd Lappin--> Section Editor WIRED Magazine (EDITOR'S NOTE: the unabridged text of this document is available at: http://www.cdt.org/ciec/CIS_DOJ_order.html ) IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION, : CIVIL ACTION et al. v. JANET RENO, Attorney General of : the United States, : NO. 96-963 ___________________________________________________________________ AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOC., : CIVIL ACTION INC., et al. : v. : UNITED STATES DEP'T OF : JUSTICE, et al. : NO. 96-1458 ORDER AND NOW, this 15th day of May, 1996, upon consideration of plaintiffs' Motion to Clarify and Restate the Court's Orders Concerning Defendants' Actions Pending Resolution of Plaintiffs' Motions for Preliminary Relief, and the response of the Government thereto, and the Court finding that: (a) On February 15, 1996 this Court entered a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining "[t]he defendant, her agents, and her servants . . . from enforcing against plaintiffs the provisions of 47 U.S.C. 223(a) (1) (B) (ii), insofar as they extend to 'indecent,' but not 'obscene'" Internet content, see docket no. 14; (b) Thereafter, the parties entered a stipulation in which the Attorney General promised that "she will not initiate any investigations or prosecutions for violations of 47 U.S.C. 223(d) for conduct occurring after enactment of this provision until the three-judge court hears Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction... and has decided the motion" see docket no. 18;(1) (c) This Court approved the Stipulation on February 26, 1996, giving it the force of an Order of this Court; [ DELETED SECTION (A chronology of the AFA's dispute with CompuServe) ] (j) The plaintiffs in C.A. No. 96-1458 have now moved this court for an Order to clarify the February 15th Temporary Restraining Order and the February 26th Stipulation and Order to prevent the Department of Justice from "reviewing" Internet Content that falls within the scope of the prohibitions in those two Orders; (k) In its written response to the motion, the Government has emphasized that the Attorney General retains her full discretion to prosecute the CDA as it relates to obscenity and child pornography, see defs.' resp. at 5-6; (l) The Government echoed these arguments at oral argument on May 10, 1996, see Transcript of May 10, 1996 at 150, 154-55; (m) Although the Government is correct about the Attorney General's continued discretion under the obscenity and child pornography provisions of the CDA, this point misses the mark entirely, for the following reasons: i. Under the Government's view of this case, nude depictions of sexual organs alone are almost certainly not obscene, [ ... ] ii. The women in the photographs are almost certainly not minors; iii. At most, then, the Government has initiated a "review" of CompuServe purportedly for obscenity and child pornography based only on the availability of indecent material there; (n) Thus, neither actual obscenity nor child pornography provided the impetus for the Department of Justice's referral of CompuServe for "review" by the FBI; (o) Notwithstanding the Government's post hoc rationalization for the actions of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Division, its conduct in subjecting a content provider to private and public scrutiny for displaying material that is neither obscene nor child pornography clearly runs afoul of both this Court's Orders and the Government's promises, as made in the Stipulation we approved on February 26, 1996; It is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiffs' Motion to Clarify and Restate the Court's Orders Concerning Defendants' Actions Pending Resolution of Plaintiffs' Motions for Preliminary Relief is GRANTED; 2. "Review" by the Attorney General or her agents, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, of sexually oriented Internet content falls within this Court's Temporary Restraining Order of February 15, 1996 and the Stipulation this Court approved by Order on February 26, 1996, when that "review" is triggered by (1) content that is neither obscene nor child pornography, or (2) complaints of Internet content that, as described, constitute neither obscenity nor child pornography; 3. The Attorney General and her agents are ENJOINED from engaging in "review" of a content provider if that "review" is triggered by either of the two circumstances described in paragraph two of this Order; and 4. The Attorney General and her agents retain their full power to "review" complaints regarding Internet content that constitutes obscenity or child pornography, provided that, if, upon "review" it appears that the material complained of is neither obscene or child pornography, the "review" must then immediately cease.

In an effort to demonstrate one of the more practical uses of encryption technology (and so that you all know this message actually came from me), I have signed this message using a digital signature generated by the popular encryption program PGP. I am proud to be the first member of Congress to utilize encryption and digital signatures to post a message to the Internet. As a fellow Internet user, I care deeply about protecting individual privacy and encouraging the development of the Net as a secure and trusted communications medium. I do not need to tell you that current export restrictions only allow American companies to export primarily weak encryption technology. The current strength of encryption the U.S. government will allow out of the country is so weak that, according to a January 1996 study conducted by world-renowned cryptographers, a pedestrian hacker can crack the codes in a matter of hours! A foreign intelligence agency can crack the current 40-bit codes in seconds. Perhaps more importantly, the increasing use of the Internet and similar interactive communications technologies by Americans to obtain critical medical services, to conduct business, to be entertained and communicate with their friends, raises special concerns about the privacy and confidentiality of those communications. I have long been concerned about these issues, and have worked over the past decade to protect privacy and security for our wire and electronic communications. Encryption technology provides an effective way to ensure that only the people we choose can read our communications. I have read horror stories sent to me over the Internet about how human rights groups in the Balkans have had their computers confiscated during raids by security police seeking to find out the identities of people who have complained about abuses. Thanks to PGP, the encrypted files were undecipherable by the police and the names of the people who entrusted their lives to the human rights groups were safe. The new bill, called the "Promotion of Commerce On-Line in the Digital Era (PRO-CODE) Act of 1996," would: o bar any government-mandated use of any particular encryption system, including key escrow systems and affirm the right of American citizens to use whatever form of encryption they choose domestically; o loosen export restrictions on encryption products so that American companies are able to export any generally available or mass market encryption products without obtaining government approval; and o limit the authority of the federal government to set standards for encryption products used by businesses and individuals, particularly standards which result in products with limited key lengths and key escrow. This is the second encryption bill I have introduced with Senator Burns and other congressional colleagues this year. Both bills call for an overhaul of this country's export restrictions on encryption, and, if enacted, would quickly result in the widespread availability of strong, privacy protecting technologies. Both bills also prohibit a government-mandated key escrow encryption system. While PRO-CODE would limit the authority of the Commerce Department to set encryption standards for use by private individuals and businesses, the first bill we introduced, called the "Encrypted Communications Privacy Act", S.1587, would set up stringent procedures for law enforcement to follow to obtain decoding keys or decryption assistance to read the plaintext of encrypted communications obtained under court order or other lawful process. It is clear that the current policy towards encryption exports is hopelessly outdated, and fails to account for the real needs of individuals and businesses in the global marketplace. Encryption expert Matt Blaze, in a recent letter to me, noted that current U.S. regulations governing the use and export of encryption are having a "deleterious effect ... on our country's ability to develop a reliable and trustworthy information infrastructure." The time is right for Congress to take steps to put our national encryption policy on the right course. I am looking forward to hearing from you on this important issue. Throughout the course of the recent debate on the Communications Decency Act, the input from Internet users was very valuable to me and some of my Senate colleagues. You can find out more about the issue at my World Wide Web home page (http://www.leahy.senate.gov/) and at the Encryption Policy Resource Page (http://www.crypto.com/). Over the coming months, I look forward to the help of the Net community in convincing other Members of Congress and the Administration of the need to reform our nation's cryptography policy. Sincerely, Patrick Leahy United States Senator ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 21:24:19 From: anonymous@netcom.com Subject: File 4--Remaining Scientology Secret Scriptures Posted to Usenet In article Subject: File 5--(fwd) Level 30 -- [An Online Anti-Pornography Crusade] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please Note: Every effort has been made to post this announcement only in those groups and lists where there should be a natural interest in its subject matter.

Schanot was close to being released on bond when the prisoner told his story. In computer lingo, that kind of bad luck is called a crash. .................. Releasing Schanot, 19, under even the most stringent conditions would be "very risky," ruled U.S. Magistrate Judge Lawrence Davis. The judge ordered that Schanot remain in custody pending trial, set to begin June 10. Schanot's lawyer, federal public defender Norm London, told Davis that the alleged conversation between the young man and Esposito never happened. Schanot had been close to release on $150,000 bond earlier Friday. That was before Esposito told his lawyer about a conversation he said he had with Schanot on Thursday night in the jail in Jennings. .................. Esposito testified that after he asked Schanot about his bond hearing Thursday, Schanot replied that he planned to stay at his parents' house briefly, then flee. .................. Authorities say Schanot left the St. Louis area shortly after graduating in May from Vianney High School, where he had been an honor student. A federal prosecutor in Philadelphia has called Schanot a computer genius capable of entering almost any computer system. An indictment returned here March 14 accuses Schanot of hacking into the computers of Southwestern Bell, Bell Communications Research, Sprint and SRI International, a research and development contractor with government contracts. As part of the hearing Friday, the government played a tape-recorded telephone conversation several months ago between Schanot's father, Michael Schanot, and Netta Gilboa. Christopher Schanot had been living with Gilboa in the Philadelphia area. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 May 96 06:49:44 EST From: Computer Privacy Digest Moderator Subject: File 7--New Internet Journal From--Computer Privacy Digest Tue, 14 May 96 Volume 8 : Issue: 038 From--cpsr-global@Sunnyside.COM Date--08 May 1996 07:20:40 -0700 Subject--New Internet Journal Taken from CPSR-GLOBAL Digest 376 Sender: Andy Oram A journal that may interest readers in many countries has just started: "First Monday" at http://www.firstmonday.dk.
