(a) Findings

The Congress finds the following:

(1) The rapidly developing array of Internet and other

interactive computer services available to individual Americans

represent an extraordinary advance in the availability of

educational and informational resources to our citizens.

(2) These services offer users a great degree of control over

the information that they receive, as well as the potential for

even greater control in the future as technology develops.

(3) The Internet and other interactive computer services offer

a forum for a true diversity of political discourse, unique

opportunities for cultural development, and myriad avenues for

intellectual activity.

flourished, to the benefit of all Americans, with a minimum of

government regulation.

(5) Increasingly Americans are relying on interactive media for

a variety of political, educational, cultural, and entertainment

services.

(b) Policy

It is the policy of the United States -

(1) to promote the continued development of the Internet and

other interactive computer services and other interactive media;

(2) to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that

presently exists for the Internet and other interactive computer

services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation;

(3) to encourage the development of technologies which maximize

user control over what information is received by individuals,

families, and schools who use the Internet and other interactive

computer services;

(4) to remove disincentives for the development and utilization

of blocking and filtering technologies that empower parents to

restrict their children's access to objectionable or

inappropriate online material; and

deter and punish trafficking in obscenity, stalking, and

harassment by means of computer.

violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not

such material is constitutionally protected; or

(B) any action taken to enable or make available to

information content providers or others the technical means to

restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).(!1)

(d) Obligations of interactive computer service

A provider of interactive computer service shall, at the time of

entering an agreement with a customer for the provision of

interactive computer service and in a manner deemed appropriate by

the provider, notify such customer that parental control

protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering

services) are commercially available that may assist the customer

in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Such

notice shall identify, or provide the customer with access to

information identifying, current providers of such protections.
